He who fashioned the womb—Agni offered the life-giving oblation and passed over to immortality. He who is lord of herbs and ranger of forests, who bears the embryo, the earth and the cosmic sustenance.
The herbs, and the trees, and the earth, contain as a germ that all- supporting Agni, who occupies aplace provided by the gods, that by his functions he may convey (the offerings) to the immortals.
He who hath occupied his God-made dwelling, Agni, in wisdom hath surpassed Immortals. A Babe unborn, the plants and trees support him, and the earth beareth him the All-sustainer.
