34. “[Thee,] the righteous,” that is, the truthful;'—“the mighty,” the mighty (or buffalo) doubtless is Agni;—“the all-remarkable,” for he (Agni) is indeed remarkable to all;—“(thee), Agni, men have placed foremost for happiness,” happiness doubtless is the sacrifice, and for the sacrifice they indeed place him foremost;—“thee, the hearer, the far-ruling, divine one, with song the human tribes;” that is, “thee who hearest, thee, the far-ruling god, we men invoke.”
