Unspecified (continuing the curse directed at a ritual entity, likely Agni from prior verse context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Agni and priests depicted with a shift from dignified ritual order to chaotic, indiscriminate acceptance—offerings of all kinds piled, suggesting ‘sarvabhakṣa’; faces show loss of discernment.
