Fire is the mouth of the gods. He is also their priest. He should, therefore, take nothing save pure and clean things. At times, however, that great god becomes a consuiner of everythings. Know that I have now become like him.
अग्निर्मुखं पुरोधाश्च देवानां शुचिषाड् विभुः॥ यथावत् सर्वभुम् ब्रह्मा तथा मां विद्धि धर्मतः। तमुवाच स चाण्डालो महर्षे शृणु मे वचः॥
