Two-footed verses for the kindled fire
Seven verses in dvipada trishtubh, two lines each, by Vasishtha. They follow the order of the rite: let Agni be well kindled, let the grass be spread wide, let the eager doors swing open, and let him bring the eager gods. Jatavedas is asked to make the rites well performed, to worship the immortals and please them. 'Win all good things, wise one; let our prayers come true today.' The gods made him bearer of oblations, child of strength. The rishi asks that his people remain givers to the god, and that Agni, when asked, share out great treasures.
