8. Now some recite (Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 50), “The Agnis Purishyas, together with those of the streams,”—a form of starting. Let him not do so; let him recite gayatri verses addressed to Agni, and relating to (objects of) desire: (Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 115; Rik S. VIII, II, 7), “Hither may Vatsa lead thy mind even from the highest seat, O Agni, with the song desirous of thee!”—(Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 116; Rik S. VIII, 43,18), “To thee, O Agni, best of Aṅgiras, all good homesteads have laid themselves out for (the obtainment of) their desire.”—(Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 117), “Agni, the one all-ruler, shineth in the beloved homes, the (object of) desire of all that is and shall be.”
