Agni serves as the intermediary between deities and mortals, transmitting oblations to Varuṇa and Mitra to avert divine wrath and release worshippers from animosity. He distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked, enriching liberal givers while rejecting the stingy. Diligent sacrifice yields prosperity, offspring, and protection from foes, whereas neglect results in want and vulnerability. He destroys demons, shields worshippers from calumniators, and purifies offerings, ruling over all riches. The text mandates proper worship to secure his radiant presence, abundant food, and safety, condemning frivolous speech as insufficient for inviting his aid.

Indra slays Vṛtra to release waters, aided by the Maruts, and rescues Agru’s son. He grants wealth, cattle, and victory to diligent worshippers, linking divine order to material prosperity. Unlike uncertain human commerce, his benevolence is reliable. He allies with Soma to destroy foes like the Dasyus and Śuṣṇa, distributing wealth impartially. The text invokes Indra, Varuṇa, and the Aśvins for protection and fame, emphasizing that victory depends on divine favor. The Ṛbhus attained immortality through restorative deeds, and Dadhikrāvaṇ defends against foes. These deities collectively sustain existence, dispel darkness, and bestow riches upon those who honor them with devotion and gifts.
