15. “The gods who attained godhead over the gods,”—for these gods have indeed attained a divine state over the gods; 'who are the forerunners of this holy work,'—the holy work is this fire-altar (and sacrifice), and they are the forerunners thereof;—“without whom no dwelling-place becometh pure;” for without the vital airs no dwelling-place becomes pure;—“they are not on the backs of the sky and the earth,”—that is, “they are neither in the sky nor on earth: whatever breathes therein they are.”
