vii. 1. 20.

a To Agni hail! To Vayu hail! To Surya hail!
b Thou art holy order, thou art the holy order of holy order; thou art truth, thou art the truth of truth!
c Thou art the path of holy order, the shadow of the gods, the name of immortality; thou art truth, thou art Prajapati.
d When on him as on a steed in swift movements,
The folk of the sky vie with the sun;
Choosing the waters the sage becometh pure,
Like a beast the busy guardian that goeth around.
