16. They (the men) said, “Come, let us offer this up!”—“To whom of us shall they first offer this?” (said those gods).—“To me!” said Agni.—“To me!” said that blower (Vayu).—“To me!” said Surya. They did not come to an agreement; and not being agreed, they said, “Let us go to our father Prajapati; and to whichever of us he says it shall be offered first, to him they shall first offer this.” They went to their father Prajapati, and said, “To whom of us shall they offer this first?”
