The Rig Veda — Mandala 3, Hymn 3 (1896)
“ Bright Agni with the bright car, Lord of green domains, Vaisvanara dweller in the floods, who finds the light, Pervading, swift and wild, encompassed round with powers, him very glorious have the Gods established here. 6. Agni, together with the Gods and Manu's folk by thought extending sacrifice in varied form, Goes, car-borne, to and fro with those who crown each rite, the fleet, the Household Friend, who turns the curse aside. 7. Sing, Agni, for long life to us and noble sons: teem thou with plenty, shine upon us store of food. ”
