Đối với cặp (hai câu) thì niêm luật là Jagatī; và đối với các Rudra cũng có tám mươi (dạng/bản truyền). Các Hiraṇyavāha có ba vị—xin đảnh lễ các ngài, và cũng đảnh lễ Kirikā.

FAQs
It gives technical chandas-identification (Jagatī meter) and enumerates/manages mantra-deity groupings (Rudras, Hiraṇyavāhas), useful for correct recitation and liturgical cataloging.
Alongside ritual and theology, the Agni Purana also preserves technical disciplines like prosody (chandas) and structured enumerations of Vedic/mantric classes, showing its role as a compendium of applied sacred learning.
Correct meter and proper deity-address (namo…) are traditionally held to preserve mantra efficacy, supporting purity of recitation and the intended merit (puṇya) of Vedic-style worship.
