RV 2 9.3

विधेम ते परमे जन्मन्न् अग्ने विधेम स्तोमैर् अवरे सधस्थे । यस्माद् योनेर् उदारिथा यजे तम् प्र त्वे हवीꣳषि जुहुरे समिद्धे

We would serve you at your highest birth, O Agni; we would serve with praises at the lower seat. The womb from which you rose up — that I worship; in you, when kindled, they have poured the oblations.

अग्ने यजस्व हविषा यजीयाञ् छ्रुष्टी देष्णम् अभि गृणीहि राधः । त्वꣳ ह्य् असि रयिपती रयीणाꣳ त्वꣳ शुक्रस्य वचसो मनोता
