5. This speech, indeed, is threefold—the Rik-verses, the Yajus-formulas, and the Saman-tunes the Rik-verses are the orb, the Saman-tunes the light, and the Yajus-formulas the man (in the sun); and that immortal element, the shining light, is this lotus-leaf: thus, when he builds up the Fire-altar after laying down the lotus-leaf, it is on that immortal element that he builds for himself a body consisting of the Rik, the Yajus, and the Saman; and he becomes immortal.
