O friend! Scholars well-versed in the Vedas were reciting the sublime Vedic hymns with impeccable pronunciation. They carefully laid out the sacred kuśa grass adorned with fresh leaves and sustained Agni (the sacred fire) with dry twigs. In my vision, I beheld Kaṇṇan Emperumān, majestic as a resplendent wild elephant in its glory, grasping my hand and leading me in a circumambulation around Agni.
