The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 188 (1896)
“ Child of Thyself the sacrifice is for the righteous blent with meath, Presenting viands thousandfold. 3. Invoked and worthy of our praise bring Gods whose due is sacrifice: Thou, Agni, givest countless gifts. 4. To seat a thousand Heroes they eastward have strewn the grass with might, Whereon, Adityas, ye shine forth. ”
