36. As to this they say, “For what object is this fire (altar) built? Having become a bird, he (Agni) shall bear me to the sky!” so say some; but let him not think so; for by assuming that form, the vital airs became Prajapati; by assuming that form, Prajapati created the gods; by assuming that form, the gods became immortal and what thereby the vital airs, and Prajapati, and the gods became, that indeed he (the Sacrificer) thereby becomes.
