10. [He lays it down, with Vajasaneyi Samhita XIV, 5], “I settle thee upon the back of Aditi,”—Aditi doubtless is this (earth): it is upon her, as a foundation, that he thus founds him (Agni);—“the holder of the air, the supporter of the regions, the ruler of beings,”—for he (the sun) is indeed the holder of the air, the supporter of the regions, and the ruler of beings;—“thou art the wave, the drop, of water,”—the wave, doubtless, means the essence;—“Vishvakarman is thy Rishi!”—Vishvakarman (the all-shaper), doubtless, is Prajapati: thus, “Thou art fashioned by Prajapati.”—“May the Ashvins, the Adhvaryus, settle thee here!” for the Ashvins, as Adhvaryus, did lay down (this brick).
