16. He takes the firebrand with (Vajasaneyi Samhita IX, 37; Rik S. III, 24, 1), “Encounter the arrays, Agni!”—arrays means battles: “encounter the battles!” he thereby says;—“Repel the evil-wisher!”—the evil-wisher is the enemy: “beat off the enemy!” he thereby says;—“Unconquerable, conquering the evil-doers!”—unconquerable he is indeed, by the Rakshas, the fiends; and conquering the evil-doers, for he conquers every evil: therefore he says, “conquering the evil-doers;”—“Bestow glory upon the offerer of sacrifice!”—“bestowing blessing on the Sacrificer,” is what he thereby says.
