Rig Veda 1.60.5
Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
तं त्वा॑ व॒यं पति॑मग्ने रयी॒णां प्र शं॑सामो म॒तिभि॒र्गोत॑मासः । आ॒शुं न वा॑जम्भ॒रं म॒र्जय॑न्तः प्रा॒तर्म॒क्षू धि॒याव॑सुर्जगम्यात् ॥
तं त्वा वयं पतिमग्ने रयीणां प्र शंसामो मतिभिर्गोतमासः । आशुं न वाजम्भरं मर्जयन्तः प्रातर्मक्षू धियावसुर्जगम्यात् ॥
taṃ tvā vayam patim agne rayīṇām pra śaṃsāmo matibhir gotamāsaḥ | āśuṃ na vājambharam marjayantaḥ prātar makṣū dhiyāvasur jagamyāt ||
English translation:
“We, born of the race of Gotama, praise you, Agni, with acceptable (hymns), as the lord of riches; rubbing you, the bearer of oblations, (as a rider rubs down), a horse; may he who has acquired wealth by sacred rites, come hither quickly in the morning.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
The text has only rubbing or rather, sweeping, you as a horse; expanded as, brushing the plural ce of the fire for the burnt-offering, the altar. This is comparable to a person n who mounts a horse first rubs with his hands the back of the horse
