6. “The swift (Indra), sharpening (his weapon), like a terrible bull,”—these are twelve suitable (verses) relating to Indra,—a year consists of twelve months, and Agni (the fire-altar) is the year: as great as Agni is, as great as is his measure, by so much he drives off the Asuras, the mischievous fiends, in the south. With trishtubh 1 (verses he does so),—the Trishtubh is the thunderbolt: by the thunderbolt he thus drives off the Asuras, the mischievous fiends, in the south. They amount to twenty-two Gayatris, and thus they relate to Agni, for this is Agni’s performance.
