"When they were seated there, joyful, like the two Ashvins on the vault of heaven, a brahmin then approached Vasudeva and Dhananjaya — like a great sala tree, radiant as molten gold, tawny-brown, with a reddish beard, well-proportioned in girth and height, like the youthful sun, clad in black garments, wearing matted locks, with a face like a lotus petal, tawny, as if blazing with radiance."

Here Agni himself appears in the guise of a brahmin. It is significant that the newcomer "blazes with radiance like the youthful sun": his fiery nature shows through his human form. A deity sometimes appears in humble guise, both testing and showing mercy. Thus the scripture reveals Agni's arrival in the form of a brahmin; and his brilliance betrays the god concealed within.
