8. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XXXVII, 16,] “The sustainer of the sky, and of heat upon earth, shineth forth,”—for as the sustainer of the sky, and of heat on earth, that (sun, and Mahavira) indeed shines forth;—“the divine sustainer of the gods, he, the immortal, born of heat,”—for he is indeed the divine sustainer of the gods, the immortal one, born of heat;—“grant unto us speech, devoted to the gods!”—speech doubtless is worship: he thus means to say thereby, “bestow upon us worship whereby we shall please the gods!”
