The third door is the evening one, and it is double: behind the āhavanīya (the fire of offering — the eastern, "godward" fire!) two sāmans are sung: the āditya and the vaiśvadeva — to the Ādityas and to the All-gods: the evening hour belongs to two hosts, and each is greeted with a melody of its own.
The day's three fires are now ranged: gārhapatya (the hearth, the Vasus) — āgnīdhrīya (the kindling, the Rudras) — āhavanīya (the offering, the Ādityas and all): from the household hearth, through the fire of labour, to the fire of ascent: the route of a sacrificial day is itself a road from home to heaven. Evening, which holds "all the gods", is the widest hour: before the day closes, the door is flung open to the whole span of the pantheon.
