12. With (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 39), “For praise thee!” (he thrusts one in) here (into the right nostril); praise (or splendour) means breath, for with breath one praises;—with, “For sheen thee!” here (into the left nostril); sheen means breath, for by breath one shines; and also because everything here shines for breath;—with, “For brightness thee!” here (into the right eye);—with, “For lustre thee!” here (into the left eye), for bright and lustrous these two eyes indeed are;—with, “This hath become the fiery spirit of all the world, and of Agni Vaishvanara,” here (into the right ear);—with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 40), “Agni, bright with brightness, the golden disk, lustrous with lustre,” here (into the left ear),—thus with two (formulas) containing 'all'; for the ear is all.
