4. Now that Arka 1 (flame) is this very fire which they bring here; and the Kya is this his food, to wit, the fire-altar built here: that (combined) makes the Arkya in respect of the Yajus. And the Great one (mahan) is this (Agni), and this vrata (rite) is his food: that makes the Mahavrata (saman) in respect of the Saman. And 'uk' is this (Agni), and 'tha' his food,—that (combined) makes the Uktha (shastra, recitation) in respect of the Rik. Thus, whilst being only one, this is accounted threefold.
