Is mantra mein Agni ki taarif hai jo aasman jaisi roshni deta hai. Wo seedha raasta pakadta hai aur hawan ko jagaata hai jaise subah ka pyara ho. Log milkar Agni ko bulate hain wo khul ke deta hai. Wo dhan aur suraksha ke darwaze kholta hai. Svar ki duniya ka darshan dilata hai. Hum Agni ko andar aur bahar dono jagah jalaate hain. Wo hamaari bhao le jata hai aur sab kuch deta hai.
