2. Looking towards the (Ahavaniya) fire, he enters on the vow, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 5 a): “O Agni, Lord of Vows! I will keep the vow! may I be equal to it, may I succeed in it!” For Agni is Lord of Vows to the gods, and it is to him therefore that he addresses these words. In the words, “I will observe the vow; may I be equal to it; may I succeed in it,” there is nothing that requires explanation.
