10. “The Agile,”—that is, the swift,—“all-expansive,”—for the wind (air), indeed, makes up all this expanse;—“Vata (the wind) is the Gandharva: his Apsaras are the waters,”—for as a Gandharva the wind, indeed, went forth with the waters as the Apsaras, his mates;—“Viands (urj) by name,”—the waters, indeed, are called 'urjah,' for food is produced from the waters;—“may he protect this our priesthood and nobility!” the meaning of this has been explained.
