O! Lord
Agni, you are the auspicious one. You are the wealthy one.
Just as branches,
stems, stacks and leaves come out innumerably from the trees,
variety of wealth
comes out of you. Variety of cattle comes out of you.
The ability to overcome
the enemies also comes out of you.
Timely rains happen due to you.
For this
reason you are the worshipful one for all.
Commentary:
When
one looks at the tree he finds many branches. Every branch has many more stacks.
Every stack has many stems. Every stem has many leaves. It is well-neigh impossible
to count the leaves of a big tree. As many leaves exist to a big tree so many
varieties of wealth exist with the Lord Agni. The plant, the tree, the crops,
the fruits, the flowers and variety of food material is born out of the fire.
Varieties of cattle are also born out of the fire. The power of fire can destroy
every impediment to progress. All impediments to progress are enemies to beings.
They can be within the beings or outside the beings. They can be overcome with
ease through worship of fire.
Fire
causes the waters of the ocean rise to the skies forming clouds in summer. In
rainy season which follows the summer, pure drinkable water that nourish the
plant, the animal and the human comes through the showers of rain. The fire
nourishes the beings in every way, such a fire requires to be venerated and
worshipped.
