Him and know as to who was this
Yaksha,
the mighty Soul fit
to be worshipped.
[The said inanimate gods made of matter (personified as
living beings by way of figurative use) could not possibly rea-
lise Him, the Supreme Soul. Most of the people (living souls)
in ignorance worshipped such gods, i. e., the great material
objects in place of God. Hence arose in ignorance the wor-
ship of the sun, fire etc.)

(4) The
Agni
then went to
Yaksha
(God) and the latter
asked the former "who are you". The
Agni
replied "I am
agni and am undoubtedly
jatveda
(source or prime cause of all
prosperity)."
(The talk between God and Agni is only metaphorical or
by way of figurative use).
