त्वं नो अस्या उषसो व्युष्टौ त्वं सूर उदिते बोधि गोपाः ।
जन्मेब नित्यं तनयं जुषस्व स्तोमं मे अग्ने तन्वा सुजात ॥२॥
त्वं नृचक्षा वृषभानु पूर्वीः कृष्णास्वग्ने अरुषो वि भाहि ॥
वसो नेषि च पर्षि चात्यंहः कृधी नो राय उशिजो यविष्ठ ॥३॥
अषाळ्हो अग्ने वृषभो दिदीहि पुरो विश्वाः सौभगा संजिगीवान् ।
यज्ञस्य नेता प्रथमस्य पायोर्जातवेदो बृहतः सुप्रणीते ॥४॥

tvaṁ no asyā uṣaso vyuṣṭau tvaṁ sūra udite bodhi gopāḥ,
janmeva nityaṁ tanayaṁ juṣasva stomaṁ me agne tanvā sujāta.2
tvaṁ nṛcakṣā vṛṣabhānu pūrvīḥ kṛṣṇāsvagne aruṣo vi bhāhi,
vaso neṣi ca parṣi cātyaṁhaḥ kṛdhī no rāya uśijo yaviṣṭha.3
aṣāļho agne vṛṣabho didīhi puro viśvāḥ saubhagā sañjigīvān,
yajñasya netā prathamasya pāyorjātavedo bṛhataḥ supraṇīte. 4

Thou in the dawning of this dawn, thou when the Sun has arisen wake for us and be our protector. Take pleasure in the Son as if in an eternal birth. Accept my affirmation of thee, O Fire, perfectly born in thy body.

Thou art the male with the divine vision, in the wake of many dawns shine out luminous in the black nights, O Fire. O prince of the riches, lead and carry us over beyond the evil; O youthful god, make us aspirants for the treasure.

Shine out, O Fire, the invincible male, conquering all the cities, all the felicities; thou art the knower of the births, O perfect guide on the way, thou art the leader of the first, the Vast all-protecting sacrifice.

Rig Veda 3.15.2, 3.15.3, 3.15.4
