In every yajnic programme of your creative and
constructive work, in every word of our voice, join and
let us honour, appraise and develop agni, imperishable
energy pervasive in all things of existence, and adore
Agni, omniscient and omnipresent lord giver of
knowledge and enlightenment. (Rg. 6-48-1)

Agni, save us by the first voice, and by the second,
by three voices, and, O lord of cosmic power, ultimate
haven and home of existence, save and promote us by
the four. (Rg. 8-60-9)
(This is a very simple and yet a most
comprehensive verse. The first voice could be the voice
of average humanity; second, words of the sages; third,
voice of the soul; fourth, the voice of divinity. Another
way to understand: One, two, three or all the four Veda's
voice. Yet another: voice of the soul in the rising
sequence of the four matras of Aum as described in the
Upanishads. And then the four stages of language in
the descending order from divine to the human: Para,
pashyanti, madhyama and Vaikhari)
