वयं च भगवन् सर्वे जगच्च सचराचरम् | तवैव प्रसवा: सर्वे तस्मादग्निर्विभावसु:
vayaṃ ca bhagavan sarve jagac ca sacarācaram | tavaiva prasavāḥ sarve tasmād agnir vibhāvasuḥ ||
ഭഗവൻ! ഞങ്ങളും, ചരാചരങ്ങളോടുകൂടിയ ഈ സമസ്ത ജഗത്തും—എല്ലാം നിങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നുതന്നെ പ്രസവിച്ചവയാണ്. അതിനാൽ ദീപ്തനായ അഗ്നി (വിഭാവസു)യും നിങ്ങളുടെ തന്നെ സന്താനമാണ്.

Educational Q&A
All beings and the entire cosmos—animate and inanimate—are presented as emanating from the Supreme Lord; even Agni (Fire), a major Vedic deity, is affirmed as deriving from that one source, emphasizing divine sovereignty and the unity of creation.
Vasiṣṭha addresses a revered Lord and, in a tone of theological affirmation, declares that the whole world is the Lord’s progeny; he then specifically cites Agni (Vibhāvasu) as an example, reinforcing the Lord’s status as the ultimate origin.
