Angira, life breath of the universe, light and fire
of the world, Agni, pervading every forest, every ray of
light and every living being, holy yajakas dedicated to
you as to the breath of life awaken and realise you
through meditation in the cave of the heart when you
are hidden as a mysterious flame, and you, stirred
through contemplation, concentrated and enkindled, rise
as a great power of light and victory. Rightly they call
you manifestation of the omnipotent. (Rg. 5-11-6)

Agni is the leader, mark of the science of yajna,
first highpriest in the process, which the leading lights
among people kindle and establish in three stages of
life in three departments of the acquisition of
knowledge, observance of Dharma and performance of
karma, in three regions of earth, sky and the solar sphere.
And Agni takes the prime seat on the grass on the vedi
with Indra, power, devas, divine givers of nature, as it
comes with its chariot which carries it with fragrance
to all regions. It is the sanctifier for yajnic initiation,
conduct and congregation, and it is the very light, beauty
and grace of the holy project. (Rg. 5-11-2)
