7. He then addresses him (Agni); for Agni is vital power: he thus lays vital power into his self: [Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 11] “Hither have I brought thee,”—for they do indeed bring him hither;—“thou hast entered,”—he then lays vital power into his self;—“stand thou firm, never staggering!”—he thus lays the vital power firmly into his self;—“may all the people long for thee!”—the people are food: thus, “may all food long for thee!”—“may thy rule not fall away from thee!”—rule means glory: thus, “may thy glory not fall away from thee!”
