Rig VedaRig Veda 1.150
पुरु तव दाश्वान वोचे.अरिरग्ने तव सविदा | तोदस्येव शरण आ महस्य || वयनिनस्य धनिनः परहोषे चिदररुषः | कदा चन परजिगतो अदेवयोः || स चन्द्रो विप्र मर्त्यो महो वराधन्तमो दिवि | पर-परेत ते अग्ने वनुषः सयाम ||
1 AGNI, thy faithful servant I call upon thee with many a gift, As in the keeping of the great inciting God; 2 Thou who ne’er movest thee to aid the indolent, the godless man, Him who though wealthy never brings an offering. 3 Splendid, O Singer, is that man, mightiest of the great in heaven. Agni, may we be foremost, we thy worshippers.
