Shloka 25
प्रथमो होष देवानां मुखादग्निमजीजनत् । ग्रहैर्बहुविधै: प्राणान् संरुद्धानुत्सूजत्यपि
prathamo hi sa devānāṁ mukhād agnim ajījanat | grahair bahuvidhaiḥ prāṇān saṁruddhān utsṛjati api ||
Vāyu-deva dit : «Il est le premier parmi les dieux ; de sa propre bouche il fit naître le Feu (Agni). Même les êtres dont le souffle vital est entravé par maintes afflictions dues aux astres, il les délivre et leur accorde le soulagement de la souffrance.»
