c5.s1.t6.2

It was to Vivasvat as well as Mātariśvan that Agni was first manifested (1, 31⁵). Vivasvat's messenger is once (6, 8⁴) stated to be Mātariśvan, but is otherwise Agni (1, 58¹; 4, 7⁴; 8, 39³; 10, 21⁵). Agni is once said to be produced from his parents (the fire-sticks) as the sage of Vivasvat (5, 11³).
