Him, among the ever-young mothers, in the forest, lodged and unattached; brilliant, being in the secret place, placed, easy to obtain, for the one seeking wealth.

स॒सस्य॒ यद्वियु॑ता॒ सस्मि॒न्नूध॑न्नृ॒तस्य॒ धाम॑न्र॒णय॑न्त दे॒वाः ।

यदप्र॑वीता॒ दध॑ते ह॒ गर्भं॑ स॒द्यश्चि॑ज्जा॒तो भव॒सीदु॑ दू॒तः ॥
Your dark course lies before the red lights; the roving flame is one among the forms. When they take up the embryo in a birth without mother, straightway born, you become the messenger.
4.7.10
स॒द्यो जा॒तस्य॒ ददृ॑शान॒मोजो॒ यद॑स्य॒ वातो॑ अनु॒वाति॑ शो॒चिः ।
वृ॒णक्ति॑ ति॒ग्माम॑त॒सेषु॑ जि॒ह्वां स्थि॒रा चि॒दन्ना॑ दयते॒ वि जम्भैः॑ ॥
Immediately upon birth its strength is seen as radiance; when the wind follows it, the flame lays its sharp tongue upon the dry wood, and it seizes even firm provisions and tears them apart with its teeth.
4.7.11
तृ॒षु यदन्ना॑ तृ॒षुणा॑ व॒वक्ष॑ तृ॒षुं दू॒तं कृ॑णुते य॒ह्वो अ॒ग्निः ।
वात॑स्य मे॒ळिं स॑चते नि॒जूर्व॑न्ना॒शुं न वा॑जयते हि॒न्वे अर्वा॑ ॥
When Agni swiftly consumes the provisions with speed, he makes the swift one his messenger; he follows the course of the wind, running, as a swift horse is urged on, so he is impelled forward.
