The first Creator of the universe declared Agni to be Supreme Brahma and Eternal, and the giver of all desires. This is indeed, a mystery, After all these births had taken place, Mahadeva who had assumed the form of Varuna (for his sacrifice) and who had Pavana for his soul, said, This excellent Sacrifice is minc. I am the Grahapati in it. The three beings that first originated from the sacrificial fire are mine! Forsooth, they should be considered as my children. Know this, you gods who range through the skies! They are the fruits of this Sacrifice.
आदिकर्ता च लोकस्य तत्परं ब्रह्म तध्रुवम्। सर्वकामदमित्याहुस्तद्रहस्यमुवाच ह॥ ततोऽब्रबीन्महादेवो वरुणः पवनात्मकः। मम सत्रमिदं दिव्यमहं गृहपतिस्त्विह॥ त्रीणि पूर्वाण्यपत्यानि मम तानि न संशयः। इति जानीत खगमा मम यज्ञफलं हि तत्॥
