त्वामग्ने जलदानाहुर्विद्युतश्च त्वमेव हि । दहन्ति सर्वभूतानि त्वत्तो निष्क्रम्य हायनाः॥५-१६-६॥

O Agni, they call you the giver of waters, and you indeed are also lightning. From you, O Fire, all beings emerge and thereby generate heat and the power of transformation.

english translation

त्वय्यापो निहिताः सर्वास्त्वयि सर्वमिदं जगत् । न तेऽस्त्यविदितं किंचित्त्रिषु लोकेषु पावक॥५-१६-७॥

In you all waters are established; in you this entire world is grounded. For you, O Purifier (Agni), there is nothing unknown in the three worlds.

english translation

स्वयोनिं भजते सर्वो विशस्वापोऽविशङ्कितः । अहं त्वां वर्धयिष्यामि ब्राह्मैर्मन्त्रैः सनातनैः॥५-१६-८॥

Every being returns to its own source without apprehension. I shall strengthen you with the eternal sacred formulas of the Brāhma tradition.

english translation

शल्य उवाच । एवं स्तुतो हव्यवाहो भगवान्कविरुत्तमः । बृहस्पतिमथोवाच प्रीतिमान्वाक्यमुत्तमम् । दर्शयिष्यामि ते शक्रं सत्यमेतद्ब्रवीमि ते॥५-१६-९॥

Śalya said: Thus praised, Havyavāha (Agni)—the venerable and foremost seer—addressed Bṛhaspati with satisfaction, speaking an excellent statement: “I shall show you Śakra; I tell you this in truth.”

english translation

प्रविश्यापस्ततो वह्निः ससमुद्राः सपल्वलाः । आजगाम सरस्तच्च गूढो यत्र शतक्रतुः॥५-१६-१०॥

Then Fire entered the waters—together with oceans and marshes—and came to that lake in which Śatakratu (Indra) was concealed.
