[He offers, with, Vâg. S. XVIII, 46-48], 'O Agni, what lights of thine in the sun... ' 'O ye gods, what lights of yours are in the sun... '--'Bestow thou light upon our priests, (work thou light in our kings, light in our people and Sûdras, bestow light upon me by thy light)!' He thus says 'light' each time,--light is immortality: it is immortality he thus bestows upon him.
