4. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 36; Rik S. VIII, 43, 9] “In the waters, O Agni, is thy seat,”—that is, “in the waters, O Agni, is thy womb; as such thou clingest to the plants,”—for he does indeed cling to (love) the plants,—“being in (their) womb thou art born again,”—when he is in the womb he is indeed born again,—[Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 37] “Thou art the child of the herbs, the child of the trees, the child of all that is, O Agni, thou art the child of the waters;”—he thus makes him (Agni) the child of this entire (universe).
