Rig veda 10.51.7

कुर्मस् त आयुर् अजरं यद् अग्ने यथा युक्तो जातवेदो न रिष्याः |
अथा वहासि सुमनस्यमानो भागं देवेभ्यो हविषः सुजात ||
kurmas ta āyur ajaraṃ yad agne yathā yukto jātavedo na riṣyāḥ |
athā vahāsi sumanasyamāno bhāgaṃ devebhyo haviṣaḥ sujāta ||

- kurmas ta āyur ajaraṃ yad agne : (Mitra and varuna reply to agni) Since We have made your life imperishable/immortal 
- yathā yukto jātavedo na riṣyāḥ: yoked by this immortality no harm will come to you as jataveda/knower of births (of the mortal man since soul is the immortal element connecting various births)
- athā vahāsi sumanasyamāno: hence act as an intermediary with a cheerful mind
- bhāgaṃ devebhyo haviṣaḥ sujāta: o high born soul (whose birth in physical world has a divine purpose), for the portion alloted to gods during the sacrifice (conducted by the mortal man to assist the divine ascend the physical plane)
