What happens in this chapter
Under Agni's shelter, away from misers
Three ushnik verses close Dirghatamas's Agni series. The giver speaks to Agni at length and seeks his shelter, as one seeks a great lord's protection. Agni does not go near the rich man who gives nothing and does not honour the gods. The mortal who serves him becomes bright, a sage, greatest in heaven; may we be foremost among your worshippers, Agni.
