23. [The second brick, with Vajasaneyi Samhita XII, 48] “O Agni, what splendour is thine in the heaven,”—his splendour in the heaven doubtless is the sun;—“on earth,” that on earth is this fire;—“and that which is in the plants, in the waters, O holy one!” he thereby means the fire that is both in the plants, and in the waters;—“wherewith thou hast overspread the wide air,”—that is, the wind;—“brilliant is that light, surging, man-viewing;” that is, “great is that light, surging, man-viewing.”
