THE other fires are, verily, thy branches; the Immortals all rejoice in thee, O Agni. Centre art thou, Vaiṣvânara, of the people, sustaining men like a deep-founded pillar. 2. The forehead of the sky, earth's centre, Agni became the messenger of earth and heaven. Vaiṣvânara, the Deities produced thee, a God, to be a light unto the Ârya. 3. As in the Sun firm rays are set for ever, treasures are in Vaiṣvânara, in Agni.
