22. [He puts it on, with Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 47; Rik S. III, 22, 1, etc.] “This is the Agni wherein Indra taketh the Soma-juice,” for the Garhapatya hearth is this (terrestrial) world, and the Soma-juice is the waters: Indra thus took up the waters in this world;—“into his belly, craving it,”—for the belly is the centre;—“thousandfold strength, like a swift racer,”—the thousandfold strength, doubtless, is the waters,—“thou, having gained, art exalted, O knower of beings!” that is, “thou, being built, art built, O knower of beings!”
