1.4.1.33
taṃ vā etam | vṛṣaṇvantaṃ tricamanvāhāgneyyo vā etāḥ sarvāḥ sāmidhenyo bhavantīndro vai yajñasya devatendro vṛṣaiteno hāsyaitāḥ sendrāḥ sāmidhenyo bhavanti tasmādvṛṣaṇvantaṃ tricamanvāha
He recites this tristich which contains the word (vrishan), 'mighty.' All these kindling verses, it is true, are addressed to Agni; Indra, however, is the deity of sacrifice, Indra is the mighty (hero); hence these his (the sacrificer's) kindling verses thereby become possessed of Indra: this is the reason why he recites the tristich containing the word 'mighty.'
