sṛṣṭvā lokāṃstrīnimānhavyavāha prāpte kāle pacasi punaḥ samiddhaḥ |
sarvasyāsya bhuvanasya prasūtistvamevāgne bhavasi punaḥ pratiṣṭhā || 14 ||

"Stamvamitra said, 'Thou alone, O Agni, art everything! This whole universe is established in thee! Thou sustainest every creature, and thou supportest the universe! Thou art the carrier of the sacrificial butter, and thou art the excellent sacrificial butter itself! The wise know thee to be one (as cause) and many (as effects)! Having created the three worlds, thou, O Havyavaha, again destroyest them when the time cometh, swelling thyself forth! Thou art the productive cause of the whole universe, and thou also art the essence in which the universe dissolveth itself!'

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
