9. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 42-3; Rik S. I, 147, 2; II, 6, 4] “Attend thou to this word of mine, O youngest!”—that is, “attend to this word of mine, O youngest!”—“put forth most plentifully, O faithful one!”—that is, “put forth most abundantly, O faithful one!”—“this one revileth thee, and that one singeth thy praises,”—that is, “one (man) reviles thee, and another sings thy praises;”—“reverently I revere thy body, O Agni!”—that is, “I, thy reverer, revere thy body, O Agni!”—“Be thou a munificent patron of offerings, O lord of wealth, the bestower of wealth, keep off from us the haters!” this he says in order that he may keep off haters from him. With two (verses) he worships the fire, a Gayatri and a Trishtubh verse: the significance of this has been explained.
