Thou, like a witness, hast access to the inner souls of all creatures. The poets call thee single, and again three-fold. O eater of burnt offerings, abandoned by thee the Universe would forthwith cease to be. The brAhmaNas by bowing to thee, win with their wives and sons an eternal region, the reward of their own meritorious deeds. O agni, it is thou who art the bearer of sacred offerings.
