Agni is the wise inspirer, Agni is the piercing seer, the sage. Agni, the sacrificer, is sought in the rites, the human perceives him.

Agni verily is most wise; he is the chief performer of religious rites, a holy sage; the progeny of men glorify Agni as the invoker of the gods at sacrifices.

Agni, in truth, is passing wise, most skilled in ordering, a Seer. At sacrifices Manus' sons glorify Agni as their Priest.
