The vital force that appears at birth and follows the breath—grief. It seizes the sharp taste in the mouth, steadies the tongue, and grants food with sustenance by jaws.
The light of the speedily-genitive rated is visible, and when the win fans the flame, he (Agni) spreads his blazing tongue among the trees, and with his (glowing) teeth consumes the standing (fuel, his) food.
Yet newly born, his vigour is apparent when the wind blows upon his fiery splendour, His sharpened tongue he layeth on the brushwood, and with his teeth e'en solid food consumeth.
