The King Pravahana Jaivali addresses Uddalaka and Shvetaketu saying, "you are the first one among the Brahmans to receive this knowledge, until now it was known only to क्षत्रिय-s || Kshatriyas" and explains the essence of the Brahmavidya of which the Pancha-agni (5 types of Fire) is a part of.  The five fires according to this vidya are symbolized as follows:

Here the activity of the celestial region is compared to यज्ञ || Yagna. This level comprehends the connection of the physical world to the higher regions, where Surya, Chandra, Nakshtra are a part of the natural phenomenon of the visible world.  The first oblation is the universal vibration in the celestial heaven.
