He wraps him up, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 31; Rig-veda V, 85, 2), “Over the woods he hath stretched the welkin,” for over the woods, over the tops of the trees, that welkin (or air) is indeed stretched;—“strength (hath he laid) into the coursers, milk into the kine,”—strength means manliness and the coursers are the men: he thereby bestows manliness upon men; and 'milk into the kine' he says, because this milk is indeed contained in the kine;—“Into the hearts Varuna (hath laid) wisdom, into the homesteads fire;” for into the hearts that wisdom, the swiftness of thought, has indeed entered; and 'into the homesteads fire' he says, because that fire is in the homesteads, with the people;—“Into the heaven hath he placed the Sun, and Soma upon the rock;” for that sun is indeed placed in the heaven; and 'Soma on the rock' he says, because Soma is in the mountains. This is why he says, “In the heaven hath he placed the Sun, and Soma upon the rock.”
