Shloka 7
जरितारिरुवाच आत्मासि वायोज्वलन शरीरमसि वीरुधाम् | योनिरापश्न ते शुक्रे योनिस्त्वमसि चाम्भस:,जरितारिने कहा--अग्निदेव! आप वायुके आत्मस्वरूप और वनस्पतियोंके शरीर हैं। तृण-लता आदिकी योनि पृथ्वी और जल तुम्हारे वीर्य हैं, जलकी योनि भी तुम्हीं हो
jaritārīruvāca | ātmāsi vāyo jvalana śarīramasi vīrudhām | yonir āpaś ca te śukre yonis tvamasi cāmbhasaḥ |
Джаритари сказал: «О Огонь, ты — сама сущность Ветра и ты — тело, пребывающее в растениях. Земля и вода — лоно, из которого рождаются травы и лианы; вода — твоё семя. И поистине ты сам — также лоно вод».

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the elements are mutually sustaining: Fire is linked with Wind as its inner essence, manifests within vegetation, and is connected to water and earth as generative sources. This supports an ethical stance of honoring and protecting the natural order that sustains life.
Jaritāri addresses Agni with a hymn-like statement, identifying Agni’s cosmic functions—within wind, plants, and the cycle of water and fertility—thereby acknowledging Agni’s pervasive presence and power in the world.
