10.88.8

sū̱kta̱vā̱kam pra̍tha̱mam ād id a̱gnim ād id dha̱vir a̍janayanta de̱vāḥ |
sa e̍ṣāṁ ya̱jño a̍bhavat tanū̱pās taṁ dyaur ve̍da̱ tam pṛ̍thi̱vī tam āpa̍ḥ ||

First the Gods brought the hymnal into being; then they engendered Agni, then oblation. He was their satrifice that guards our bodies: him the heavens know, the earth, the waters know him.

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