Agni is the Lord of the universe. He is incapable of being apprehended or described. Capable of going every where and present in all things he is the Creator of all beings. He lives in the hearts of all creatures, Gifted with great power, He is older than Rudra himself.
जगत्पतिरनिर्देश्यः सर्वगः सर्वभावनः। हृच्छयः सर्वभूतानां ज्येष्ठो रुद्रादपि प्रभुः॥
