1.127.5

tam a̍sya pṛ̱kṣam upa̍rāsu dhīmahi̱ nakta̱ṁ yaḥ su̱darśa̍taro̱ divā̍tarā̱d aprā̍yuṣe̱ divā̍tarāt |
ād a̱syāyu̱r grabha̍ṇavad vī̱ḻu śarma̱ na sū̱nave̍ |
bha̱ktam abha̍kta̱m avo̱ vyanto̍ a̱jarā̍ a̱gnayo̱ vyanto̍ a̱jarā̍ḥ ||

Here near we place the sacrificial food for him who shines forth fairer in the night than in the day, with life then stronger than by day. His life gives sure and firm defence as that one giveth to a son. The during fires enjoy things given and things not given, the during fires enjoy as food.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
