7. And on the right (south) side with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 55), “This one on the right, the all-worker,”—the all-worker (vishvakarman), doubtless, is this Vayu (the wind) who blows here, for it is he that makes everything here; and because he speaks of him as (being) “on the right,” therefore it is in the south that he blows most. Vayu, indeed, having become the mind, remained in the right side (of the body): it is that form (part) he now bestows (on Agni).
