6. [He lays them down, with, Vajasaneyi Samhita XV, 59], “Fill the space! fill the gap!”—that is, “fill up the space! fill up the gap;”—“and lie thou steady!”—that is, “and lie thou firm, settled!”—“Indra and Agni, and Brihaspati, have settled thee in this womb;” that is, “Indra and Agni, and Brihaspati, have established thee in this womb.” Thus (he establishes them) by an anushtubh verse; for the Anushtubh is speech, and Indra is speech, and the space-filler is Indra. He does not settle them, for that (sun) is unsettled. He pronounces the Sudadohas on them, for the Sudadohas is vital air: he thus makes him (Agni) continuous and joins him together by means of the vital air.
