Shloka 13
अन्मनिं त्वं यजसे नित्यं कस्माद् ब्राह्मणमर्जुन । स हि सर्वस्य लोकस्य हव्यवाट् कि न वेत्सि तम्,अर्जुन! अग्नि भी तो ब्राह्मण ही है। तुम प्रतिदिन उसका यजन क्यों करते हो? क्या तुम नहीं जानते कि अग्नि ही सम्पूर्ण लोकोंके हव्यवाहन (हविष्य पहुँचानेवाले) हैं
agniṁ tvaṁ yajase nityaṁ kasmād brāhmaṇam arjuna | sa hi sarvasya lokasya havyavāṭ kiṁ na vetsī tam arjuna ||
อรชุน เหตุใดท่านจึงบูชาอัคนีทุกวันประหนึ่งพราหมณ์? ท่านไม่รู้จักเขาหรือ? เขานั่นแลคือ “หัวยวาหะ” ผู้แบกพาเครื่องบูชาของสรรพโลก

Agni is portrayed as the sacred mediator of yajña—functioning like a priestly (brāhmaṇa) principle—because he carries offerings to the divine across all worlds; daily worship of fire is thus an affirmation of dharma and cosmic reciprocity.
The speaker addresses Arjuna and questions why he performs daily worship of Agni as if Agni were a Brāhmaṇa, then clarifies Agni’s universal role as havyavāha, the conveyor of sacrificial offerings for all worlds.
