8. [He sets it down, with Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 30-32] Seat thee in the depth of the waters for that indeed is the deepest (place) of the (heavenly) waters where yonder (sun) burns;—“lest the sun, lest Agni Vaishvanara should scorch thee!” that is, lest the Sun, lest Agni Vaishvanara injure thee;—“Overlook the creatures with unbroken wings,” that is, overlook all these uninjured, unharmed creatures, that is, these bricks;—“may heaven’s rain favour thee!” this he says in order that the rain of heaven may favour him.
