RV 7 11.1

महाꣳ अस्य् अध्वरस्य प्रकेतो न ऋते त्वद् अमृता मादयन्ते । आ विश्वेभिः सरथꣳ याहि देवैर् न्य् अग्ने होता प्रथमः सदेह

mahām̐ asy adhvarasya praketo na ṛte tvad amṛtā mādayante | ā viśvebhiḥ sarathaṁ yāhi devair ny agne hotā prathamaḥ sadeha

Great are you, the beacon of the rite; without you the immortals do not rejoice. Come with all the gods on one chariot; sit down here, Agni, as the first hotṛ.

Agni has power over the lofty rite, Agni over every oblation that is made; for the Vasus took pleasure in his resolve, and so the gods made him the bearer of oblations.

Agni, bring the gods here for the eating of the oblation; with Indra as their eldest let them rejoice here. Set this sacrifice in heaven among the gods. Do you always protect us with your blessings.
