पिप्रीहि देवाꣳ उशतो यविष्ठ विद्वाꣳ ऋतूꣳर् ऋतुपते यजेह । ये दैव्या ऋत्विजस् तेभिर् अग्ने त्वꣳ होतॄणाम् अस्य् आयजिष्ठः

Gratify the eager gods, O youngest; knowing (them), O lord of the seasons, sacrifice here according to the seasons. Those who are the divine officiants — together with them, Agni, you are of the hotṛs the best sacrificer.

वेषि होत्रम् उत पोत्रꣳ जनानाम् मन्धातासि द्रविणोदा ऋतावा । स्वाहा वयꣳ कृणवामा हवीꣳषि देवो देवान् यजत्व् अग्निर् अर्हन्

You attend to the hotṛ's office and the potṛ's office of the peoples; you are the thoughtful one, giver of wealth, possessed of ṛta. With 'svāhā' let us make the oblations; let the god Agni, worthy, sacrifice to the gods.

RV 10 2.3

आ देवानाम् अपि पन्थाम् अगन्म यच् छक्नवाम तद् अनु प्रवोऴ्हुम् । अग्निर् विद्वान् स यजात् सेद् उ होता सो अध्वरान् स ऋतून् कल्पयाति

ā devānām api panthām aganma yac chaknavāma tad anu pravoḻhum | agnir vidvān sa yajāt sed u hotā so adhvarān sa ṛtūn kalpayāti

We have come upon the path of the gods, to carry onward along it what we can. Agni who knows — let him sacrifice; he indeed is the hotṛ; he will order the rites, he the seasons.

यद् वो वयम् प्रमिनाम व्रतानि विदुषाꣳ देवा अविदुष्टरासः । अग्निष् टद् विश्वम् आ पृणाति विद्वान् येभिर् देवाꣳ ऋतुभिः कल्पयाति

If we, O gods, being far less knowing than the knowing, break your ordinances, Agni who knows makes all that good, with those seasons by which he orders (worship) for the gods.

You whom Heaven and Earth, whom the Waters, whom Tvaṣṭar of good begetting begot — knowing well along the path that the fathers travel, shine forth brilliantly, Agni, when kindled.
