8. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XI, 29] “Thou art the waters’ back, Agni’s womb,” for this is indeed the back of the waters, and the womb of Agni;—“around the swelling sea,”—for the sea indeed swells around it;—“thou, growing mighty upon the lotus,”—that is, “growing, prosper thou on the lotus.”—“With the measure of the sky, extend thou in width!”—with this he strokes along it (so as to lie even on the skin); for that Agni is yonder sun; and him assuredly none other than the width of the sky can contain: “having become the sky, contain him!” this is what he thereby says.
