RV 5 28.2

समिध्यमानो अमृतस्य राजसि हविष् कृण्वन्तꣳ सचसे स्वस्तये । विश्वꣳ स धत्ते द्रविणꣳ यम् इन्वस्य् आतिथ्यम् अग्ने नि च धत्त इत् पुरः

samidhyamāno amṛtasya rājasi haviṣ kṛṇvantaṁ sacase svastaye | viśvaṁ sa dhatte draviṇaṁ yam invasy ātithyam agne ni ca dhatta it puraḥ

Being kindled, you rule over the immortal (draught); you attend the one who prepares the oblation, for his well-being. He whom you impel takes to himself all property, and he sets guest-service before (you), O Agni.
