25. At the same time he mutters, “O All-maker, thou art the protector of lives! do not ye two (fires) scorch me away (from this), injure me not! this is your sphere;” with this he moves slightly northwards: by this (mantra, he indicates that) he sits midway between the Ahavaniya and the Garhapatya, and thus he propitiates these two; and in accordance with what he says, “do not scorch me away from this! injure me not!” they do not injure him.
