Here, facing death, the children turn to God. It is telling that, seeing the fire, Jaritari does not cry out in fear but addresses a hymn of praise to Agni: in extremity, the righteous turn to God. In this lies the truth that prayer is the last and surest refuge. So the scripture shows the fledglings' trust; and their praise will incline Agni to mercy, as he had promised their father.
