40. Thereupon a verse to Agni (Vajasaneyi Samhita III, 36),—whereby he finally makes himself over to Agni for protection: “May thine unapproachable chariot, wherewith thou protectest the worshippers, encircle us on every side!” The worshippers, doubtless, are the sacrificers; and what unassailable chariot he (Agni) possesses, therewith he protects the sacrificers. Hence he thereby means to say, “what unassailable chariot thou possessest, wherewith thou protectest the sacrificers, therewith do thou guard us on every side.” This (verse) he mutters thrice.
