O carrier of (sacrificial) ghee (Agni), you create the three worlds and you again destroy them when the time comes for their destruction by swelling (your body to a fearful dimension). You are the progenerating mother of the whole universe; you are the essence also in which the universe dissolves.
सृष्ट्वा लोकांस्त्रीनिमान् हव्यवाह काले प्राप्ते पचसि पुनः समिद्धः। स्त्वमेवाग्ने भवसि पुनः प्रतिष्ठा॥
