阿耆尼啊，汝为不死之使者，奉献之载者（havyavāha），守护者，堪受赞颂；诸天与凡人于世世代代安立于汝。汝常警醒，广大而有力，为众民之主（viśpati）；彼等以恭敬之礼（namas）请汝就座。

{ "gloss_summary": "Sāyaṇa: ‘dūta’ is the carrier of oblations toward the gods; ‘ni ṣedire’ means they established/seated him on the āhavanīya; ‘pāyu’ is protector of the yajña; ‘viśpati’ like a gṛhapati, benefactor of the yajamāna.", "ritual_interpretation": "Agni is ritually installed as the central functionary who guards and conveys offerings.", "theological_insight": "Agni’s immortality is functional: the perennial office of mediation that persists across ages through ritual renewal.", "etymology_highlights": "havyavāha = ‘havis’ + √vah (to carry); viśpati = viś (clan/people/house) + pati (lord)." }
