13. And, again, why he encloses it with enclosing-stones;—the Garhapatya hearth is this (terrestrial) world, and the enclosing-stones are the waters: he thus surrounds this world with water,—it is with the ocean that he thus surrounds it on all sides, and hence the ocean flows round this world on all sides. (He puts up the stones) by turning to the right (or south), whence the ocean flows round this world (from the east) southwards;—by means of a dug out (hole, or moat), whence the ocean flows round this world in a moat.
