What happens in this chapter

Set Agni in front at the rite

Bharadvaja, son of Brihaspati, calls in trishtubh on the priests to place Agni in front as the sacrifice begins, for Jatavedas makes the rite go well. The mortal who serves him with hymns grows in fame and receives a pen full of cattle. Born, Agni filled the two wide worlds; his track is black, yet through the dark night he is seen shining. The rishi asks for wealth for the patrons and mentions the Bharadvajas by name as those who offer this fine hymn. The last verse, a short virat, asks Agni to scatter hatred and grant a hundred winters.
