52. “In the ocean, the seat, I settle thee!” the sea is the mind; from the mind-ocean, with speech for a shovel, the gods dug out the triple science. Thereto this verse applies,—“May the true god know this day where the gods placed that offering, they who dug it out from the ocean with sharp shovels;”—the ocean is the mind, the sharp shovel is speech, the offering is the triple science: it is thereto this verse applies. In the mind he settles this (brick).
