That pious person who keeps his sacred fire and offers his daily adorations to the gods is considered as the foremost of righteous persons. All the Vedas, O foremost of kings, are established on the three sacred fires.
आहिताग्निर्हि धर्मात्मा यः स पुण्यकृदुत्तमः। वेदा हि सर्वे राजेन्द्र स्थितास्त्रिष्वग्निषु प्रभो॥
