What happens in this chapter
Agni, kinsman and friend of men
Accept this wide-reaching word, Agni, as you pour the offerings into your mouth. Gotama Rahugana, in five gayatri verses, asks: who is your kinsman among men, who worships you rightly, who are you, on whom do you rest? And he answers: you are the kinsman of men, a dear friend, a companion to be praised by companions. He asks Agni to worship Mitra and Varuna, the gods and great rita, and his own house.
