1. Verily, this (brick-)built Fire-altar (Agni) is this (terrestrial) world:—the waters (of the encircling ocean) are its (circle of) enclosing-stones; the men its Yajushmatis (bricks with special formulas); the cattle its Sudadohas; the plants and trees its earth-fillings (between the layers of bricks), its oblations and fire-logs; Agni (the terrestrial fire) its Lokamprina (space-filling brick);—thus this comes to make up the whole Agni, and the whole Agni comes to be the space-filler; and, verily, whosoever knows this, thus comes to be that whole (Agni) who is the space-filler.
