RV 5 16.2

स हि द्युभिर् जनानाꣳ होता दक्षस्य बाह्वोः । वि हव्यम् अग्निर् आनुषग् भगो न वारम् ऋण्वति

sa hi dyubhir janānāṁ hotā dakṣasya bāhvoḥ | vi havyam agnir ānuṣag bhago na vāram ṛṇvati

For he, by his shinings, is the hotṛ of men, (the hotṛ) of the skill of the two arms; Agni in due order sends the oblation forth, as Bhaga (sends) what is desired.

adhā hy agna eṣāṁ suvīryasya maṁhanā | tam id yahvaṁ na rodasī pari śravo babhūvatuḥ

For now, Agni, through their bestowal of a wealth of heroes — the two worlds have enclosed his fame, as (they enclose) a young, vigorous one.

RV 5 16.5

नू न एहि वार्यम् अग्ने गृणान आ भर । ये वयꣳ ये च सूरयः स्वस्ति धामहे सचोतैधि पृत्सु नो वृधे

nū na ehi vāryam agne gṛṇāna ā bhara | ye vayaṁ ye ca sūrayaḥ svasti dhāmahe sacotaidhi pṛtsu no vṛdhe

Come now to us; when you are praised, Agni, bring what is choice. Both we and the patrons — may we establish ourselves in well-being; be with us, be there for our increase in battles.
