What happens in this chapter
Agni the twice-born fills three heavens
He hastens toward great wealth, lord of the house and its riches, and the pressing stones serve him as he comes. Dirghatamas sings five short virad verses. Agni is the bull of heaven and earth among men, settling in his womb. He lit up the fort like a racing steed, a seer, shining like the sun with a hundred lives. Twice-born, he has stood shining over the three bright realms of light and all the spaces, the hotar best at sacrifice in the seat of the waters. This twice-born hotar holds every choice good for the mortal who gives to him.

abhi dvijanmā trī rocanāni viśvā rajāṃsi śuśucāno asthāt |
hotā yajiṣṭho apāṃ sadhasthe
अ॒यं स होता॒ यो द्वि॒जन्मा॒ विश्वा॑ द॒धे वार्या॑णि श्रव॒स्या ।
मर्तो॒ यो अ॑स्मै सु॒तुको॑ द॒दाश॑
ayaṃ sa hotā yo dvijanmā viśvā dadhe vāryāṇi śravasyā |
marto yo asmai sutuko dadāśa
