What happens in this chapter
Accept this fuel and this song
A short gayatri sukta of Somahuti Bhargava. The worshipper offers Agni a log of fuel and his service, and asks him to hear these songs. Agni is called son of strength, giver of wealth, bountiful lord of treasure. The prayers are plain and direct: drive hatred far from us, bring rain from heaven, unfailing strength and food in thousands. Agni, youngest and best of sacrificers, goes as messenger between the two births, of devas and of men, like a friendly envoy between clans. He is asked to come, sit on this grass and offer to the devas in due order.
