Skanda said: O lady, O beautiful one, from this day all the oblations that virtuous, men, who do not deviate from the path of virtue, will offer to the celestials and the Pitris with Mantras uttered by the Brahmanas shall always be offered to Agni coupled with the name of Svaha. Thus, O excellent one, you will always live with Agni.
स्कन्द उवाच हव्यं कव्यं च यत्किचिद् द्विजानां मन्त्रसंस्तुतम्। होष्यन्त्यग्नौ सदा देवि स्वाहेत्युक्त्वा समुद्धृतम्॥ अद्यप्रभृति दास्यन्ति सुवृत्ताः सत्पथे स्थिताः। एवमग्निस्त्वया सार्धं सदा वत्स्यति शोभने॥
