Here praise ends in a direct plea for mercy. The petition is significant: "be our gracious savior, do not destroy us" -- having praised the god, the devotee humbly asks for grace. Praise and the plea for refuge go together. Thus scripture reveals the close of the hymn -- and Agni, moved, will answer with mercy.
