पुरो वो मन्द्रꣳ दिव्यꣳ सुवृक्तिम् प्रयति यज्ञे अग्निम् अध्वरे दधिध्वम् । पुर उक्थेभिः स हि नो विभावा स्वध्वरा करति जातवेदाः

Set Agni before you at the rite, when the sacrifice goes forward — him who is delightful, heavenly, well-praised — set him in front with your hymns; for he, the radiant, who knows (all) births, will make our rites go well.
