20. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 5; Rik S. X, 17, 11] “The drop leaped along the earth and sky;” the drop is yonder sun, and he leaps both to the sky and to the earth—thus (in rising) to that (sky), and thus (in setting) to this (earth);—“along this seat, and that which was afore;” that is, to this world, and to that one; or this (Ahavaniya altar) which is now being built, and that (Garhapatya altar) which yonder was built before;—“(the drop) moving along the common seat;” for he (the sun) moves along that common seat;—“the drop I offer along the seven hotras;” the drop is yonder sun; and the seven hotras are the regions: he thus establishes yonder sun in the regions.
