What happens in this chapter
The Bharatas churn Agni by Sarasvati
Devashravas and Devavata, princes of the Bharatas, sing to Agni in trishtubh. Churned out and well set in his seat, Agni is young and wise, leader of the rite, unaging in the ageing woods. The two Bharatas churned Agni into being, and Agni is asked to look on them with great wealth and lead them day after day. Ten fingers gave birth to him. Devavata set him at the best place on earth, the place of Ila, on fair days, and Agni is asked to shine with wealth by the Drishadvati, by the Apaya and by the Sarasvati.
अम॑न्थिष्टां॒ भार॑ता रे॒वद॒ग्निं दे॒वश्र॑वा दे॒ववा॑तः सु॒दक्ष॑म् ।
अग्ने॒ वि प॑श्य बृह॒ताभि रा॒येषां नो॑ ने॒ता भ॑वता॒दनु॒ द्यून्
amanthiṣṭāṃ bhāratā revadagniṃ devaśravā devavātaḥ sudakṣam |
agne vi paśya bṛhatābhi rāyeṣāṃ no netā bhavatādanu dyūn
दश॒ क्षिप॑ः पू॒र्व्यं सी॑मजीजन॒न्सुजा॑तं मा॒तृषु॑ प्रि॒यम् ।

dṛṣadvatyāṃ mānuṣa āpayāyāṃ sarasvatyāṃ revadagne didīhi
इळा॑मग्ने पुरु॒दंसं॑ स॒निं गोः श॑श्वत्त॒मं हव॑मानाय साध ।

syānnaḥ sūnustanayo vijāvāgne sā te sumatirbhūtvasme
