The Rig Veda — Mandala 1, Hymn 44… (1896)
“ Accordant with the Asvins and with Dawn grant us heroic strength and lofty fame. 3. As messenger we choose to-day Agni the good whom many love, Smoke-bannered spreader of the light, at break of day glory of sacrificial rites. 4. Him noblest and most youthful, richly worshipped guest, dear to the men who offer gifts, Him, Agni Jatavedas, I beseech at dawn that he may bring the Gods to us. ”
