He touches it with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VI, 33), “What light of thine there is in the heavens, O Soma, what on earth, and what in the wide air, therewith make wide room for this sacrificer, for his prosperity: speak thou for the giver!” Now when he (Soma) first became sacrificial food for the gods, he thought within himself, “I must not become sacrificial food for the gods with my whole self!” Accordingly he deposited those three bodies of his in these worlds.
