Those other effulgent fires, celebrated all over the world, were created for rectification of the Agnihotra rites when marked by any defect. If the fires inter-lap each other by the action of the wind, then the rectification must be made with the Ashtakapala rites in honour of the fire named Suchi.
इमानन्यान् समसृजत् पावकान् प्रथितान् भुवि। अग्निहोत्रस्य दुष्टस्य प्रायश्चित्तार्थमुल्बणान्॥ संस्पृशेयुर्यदान्योन्यं कथञ्चिद् वायुनाग्नयः। इष्टिरष्टाकपालेन कार्या वै शुचयेऽग्नये॥
