These same fifteen kindling-verses [are used]; the two butter-portions are the Vṛtra-slaying ones; the two concluding verses are in the Virāj meter.
Then these are the introductory and offering verses:
‘Driven by the wind on all sides, O Agni, your radiant, bright flames move about, O bright one;
crushing forcefully, heavenly, ninefold, breaking through, they consume the forests.’
Thus.
Then the offering verse:
‘Human folk invoke you, O Agni, who know the priestly offices, the separator, the greatest bestower of treasure,

beautified by ghee.’
Thus.
And he who desires to free himself from evil should sacrifice with this.
Quickly indeed he frees himself from evil.
If, however, this [fire] should go out burning from here, he should offer a sacrifice to Agni Saṃvarga.
