Kāṇva (traditional for RV 1.19, Agni with Maruts)
Agni (invoked with the Maruts)
Gāyatrī
Is mantra mein Agni ko bulaya ja raha hai ki woh Maruts ke saath aaye. Yeh dono milke hawan ko surakshit karte hain aur uski taakat badhate hain. Maruts tej hain, zorawar hain, aur buri cheezon ko khatam karte hain. Hawan ka sthan bahut sundar aur sahi tarike se banaya gaya hai. Pooari Soma daal raha hai jo shehad jaisi meethi hai. Agni pehle is Soma ka swad leta hai aur aag aur hawa ka milan ho jata hai.
