24. [The third, with Vaj . S. XII, 49] “O Agni, thou goest up to the flood of the heaven;” the flood of that heaven doubtless is the waters (of the atmosphere): to them he goes by his smoke;—“hither callest thou the divine inspirers,”—the divine inspirers doubtless are the vital airs, for these inspire all thoughts;—“the waters approach (thee), they that are beyond the luminous sphere of the sun, and they that are below here;”—the luminous sphere doubtless is that world yonder where that (sun) is burning: he thereby means both the waters which are beyond, and those which are below that (sun).
