Translation [अन्वय - स्वामी दयानन्द] - What should we give and what speech agreeable to the enlightened persons and liked by them should be addressed to this Agni (Freacher of truth) who has noble indignation to root out evil and injustice, who as a soul realises that he is immortal spirit among the perishable bodies, observant of truth, receiver and giver of knowledge, unifier and who makes people full of divine virtues and learned.

Purport [भावार्थ - स्वामी दयानन्द] - A learned person enjoys happiness by glorifying God, by associating with the wise and acquiring divine virtues. We should also do likewise."
Translator's Notes -
होता is derived from हु-दानादनयो: आदाने च Therefore it has Receiver and giver. Agni is been interpreted as ग्रहीता दाता derived from अग-गतौ गतेस्त्रयोऽर्था :ज्ञानं गमनं प्राप्तिमच Here the first and third meanings have been combined and it has been interpreted as विज्ञापकाय or enlightener. Besides अग्नि-इति पदनामसु पठितम् (निघ० ५.१) Thus also the meaning is the same as pointed out above as Observant of truth shows clearly that here Agni, as material fire cannot be meant.
