1.150.1

पु॒रु त्वा॑ दा॒श्वान्वो॑चे अ॒रिर॑ग्ने॒ तव॑ स्वि॒दा ।
तो॒दस्ये॑व शर॒ण आ म॒हस्य॑ ॥

O Agni, as a generous worshipper I praise you greatly; even the enemy stays in your own refuge, as under the goad, in the shelter of the mighty one.

व्य॑नि॒नस्य॑ ध॒निनः॑ प्रहो॒षे चि॒दर॑रुषः ।
क॒दा च॒न प्र॒जिग॑तो॒ अदे॑वयोः ॥

Even in the assault of the hostile and the wealthy, against the unyielding and the godless, they never come near us.

स च॒न्द्रो वि॑प्र॒ मर्त्यो॑ म॒हो व्राध॑न्तमो दि॒वि ।
प्रप्रेत्ते॑ अग्ने व॒नुषः॑ स्याम ॥

He is bright, O sage, the greatest among mortals, most fostering in heaven; O Agni, may we be your worshippers.
