8. Indeed, it is stated in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa: 'When the fire is kindled, he offers oblations, he who, being learned, offers a gift-oblation (dānāhuti) through the mouth of a brahmin.' In this way, learned brahmins, embodying fire, also sustain the fire (Agni). Agni (fire) is Viṣṇu, who, having entered into all beings, sustains their life-breaths (prāṇas). And here are also verses (ślokas) from the Sanatkumāra Gītā.
