It is you, O Agni most youthful, whom, once enkindled, the Gods have chosen as messenger, conveyer of oblations. You, O God of vast range, situated in oil and nourished by offerings, the Gods have made their bright Eye, the inspirer of thought and fancy.
Rig Veda V, 8, 6
It is you, O Agni, whom Men through the ages have sought with sacred oil and with fuel easy to kindle. Thus, imbued with strength, your size increased by the plants, you spread over all the world.
Rig Veda V, 8, 7
From your body, O Lord, fashion a vast net. Advance like a powerful monarch with his escort. Entangle the demons in your net, O Archer; transfix them with your burning fiery arrows.

To him the other said: Ah, may the necklace and the chariot remain with you, O Sudra, along with the cows. Thereupon Janasruti the great-grandson of Janasruta took with him a thousand cows, a chariot with mules, a necklace and his own daughter, too and went to Raikva.
