What happens in this chapter
Agni, son and father of the gods
Bright Agni, shining like the lover of the dawn, has filled heaven and earth like the light of the sky. In two-footed viraj Parashara Shaktya sings that, born, he has encompassed all by his power: though a son, he became the father of the gods. He is sweet like the udder of cows, like food. Dear as a friend among people, he sits in the middle of the house, a joy like a newborn son. No one breaks his vows. Opening the doors by themselves, all men rejoice at his sight.
