देवा ऊचुः । तवाऽदेशात्कृता वृष्टिरन्यत्कार्यं हुताशन । यत्ते प्रियं तदस्माकं सुशीघ्रं हि निवेदय
devā ūcuḥ | tavā'deśātkṛtā vṛṣṭiranyatkāryaṃ hutāśana | yatte priyaṃ tadasmākaṃ suśīghraṃ hi nivedaya
Die Götter sprachen: „Auf deinen Befehl hin ist der Regen herbeigeführt worden. O Hutāśana, welche weitere Aufgabe bleibt? Was dir lieb ist, verkünde es uns sogleich.“
Devas
Listener: Hutāśana (Agni)
Scene: A celestial assembly of devas addresses Hutāśana (Agni), acknowledging rain produced by his command and asking what further task he desires.

None yet; the verse introduces the boon-request that leads to tīrtha fame and later rites.
