Failure followed by insight is more valuable than untested confidence. Agni and Vāyu failed; Indra was abandoned. Yet because they confronted the mystery and were broken open, they alone touched Brahman. Their defeat became their elevation.
इसी कारण ये देवता — अग्नि, वायु, इन्द्र — अन्य देवताओं से श्रेष्ठ हैं, क्योंकि उन्होंने ब्रह्म को सबसे पहले छुआ; उन्होंने सबसे पहले जाना — "यह ब्रह्म है।"

Therefore these gods — Agni, Vāyu, and Indra — surpass the other gods, for they came nearest to Brahman; they first knew it as Brahman.
