16. “Thou art Vishnu’s stride,”—for in the form of Vishnu he strides;—“the slayer of the hostile,”—for he now does slay the hostile;—“mount thou the Anushtubh metre!”—the Anushtubh metre he does mount;—“stride along the quarters!”—he looks along the (four) quarters; he does not stretch forward his foot, thinking, “Lest I lose these worlds!”—He raises the fire right up, for he ascends completely (to the top).
