Meaning: - “O Prajapathy, no one indeed, other than thyself encompassed all those created things with whatever desire we sacrifice to thee; let that be ours, may we be Lord of treasures”

This first born’s birth, his glory, his responsibilities, his relationship with his creations, Nityaraksha is the gift given by him to his believers. Rigveda Samhita’s famous Prajapathy sukta’s 121st sukta contains the belief; sacrifice needed to receive this gift. First born, Prajapathy is worshipped here Prajapathy sukta’s whole aim is to make understand that only Prajapathy must be worshipped and that only one God is to be worshipped by all. Prajapathy sukta says there is only one God worshipped by the entire ‘Universe’. The same was the doctrine of the Aryamaharishies. There is nobody to be worshipped other than the first-born the mediator. The other names of God are only the pronounse but it gives the evidence that the father and son is the same.
