SV 2 8313.1

अबोध्यग्निः समिधा जनानां प्रति धेनुमिवायतीमुषासं । यह्वा इव प्र वयामुज्जिहानाः प्र भानवः सस्रते नाकमच्छ

abodhyagniḥ samidhā janānāṃ prati dhenumivāyatīmuṣāsaṃ | yahvā iva pra vayāmujjihānāḥ pra bhānavaḥ sasrate nākamaccha

Agni has awakened by the kindling of the people, facing the Dawn who comes like a milk-cow; like young (trees?) shooting up into a branch, the beams have streamed forth toward the vault of heaven.
