8. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 19] “For all breathing, out-breathing, through-breathing, and up-breathing;” for the naturally-perforated (brick) is the breath, and the breath serves for all that;—“for a resting-place, for a moving-place;” the naturally-perforated (bricks) are these worlds, and these worlds are the resting-place, the moving-place;—“May Agni guard thee”—that is, may Agni protect thee!—“with mighty well-being!” that is, with great well-being;—“with the safest roof,” that is, with whatever roof (abode) is the safest. Having 'settled' it, he pronounces the Sudadohas on it: the meaning of this has been explained. He then sings a Saman: the meaning of this (will be explained) further on.
