22. He purifies him with seven (stalks) each time, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 4), “May the Lord of thought purify me!” The lord of thought doubtless is Prajapati: he thereby means to say, “May Prajapati purify me!” 'May the lord of speech purify me!' The lord of speech doubtless is Prajapati: he thereby means to say, “May Prajapati purify me!” 'May the divine Savitri purify me,'—for well purified indeed is he whom the divine Savitri has purified; therefore he says, “May the divine Savitri purify me!”—“with a flawless cleanser;” for that blower (the wind) is indeed a flawless cleanser: “with that one,” he means to say; 'with the rays of the sun;' for they, the rays of the sun, are indeed purifiers; therefore he says, “with the rays of the sun.”
