5. And when he said, “Knowest thou the Arka?” he thereby meant man;—“Knowest thou the two Arka-leaves?” he thereby meant his ears;—“Knowest thou the two Arka-flowers?” he thereby meant his eyes;—“Knowest thou the pod-leaves of the Arka?” he thereby meant his nostrils;—“Knowest thou the two coops of the Arka?” he thereby meant his lips;—“Knowest thou the Arka-grains?” he thereby meant his teeth;—“Knowest thou the bulge of the Arka?” he thereby meant his tongue;—“Knowest thou the root of the Arka?” he thereby meant his food. Now that Arka, to wit, man, is Agni; and verily, whoso regards Agni as the Arka and the man, in his (altar-) body that Agni, the Arka, will be built up even through the knowledge that 'I here am Agni, the Arka.'
