एना वो अग्निं नमसोर्जो नपातमा हुवे । प्रियं चेतिष्ठमरतिं स्वध्वरं विश्वस्य दूतममृतं

With this reverence I call for you Agni, the child of strength, the dear one, most discerning, the aratí, of good rite, the immortal messenger of all.

SV 2 1213.2

स योजते अरुषा विश्वभोजसा स दुद्रवत्स्वाहुतः । सुब्रह्मा यज्ञः सुशमी वसूनां देवं राधो जनानां

sa yojate aruṣā viśvabhojasā sa dudravatsvāhutaḥ | subrahmā yajñaḥ suśamī vasūnāṃ devaṃ rādho janānāṃ

He yokes the two ruddy ones that nourish all; well offered to, he runs; the sacrifice has good priestly word and good performance—the divine bounty of goods for the people.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

His two red horses, all-supporting, let him yoke: let him, well-worshipped, urge them fast! Then hath the sacrifice good prayers and happy end, the heavenly gift of wealth to men.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
