28. He (the Sacrificer) then steps out towards the north-east, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XXXVIII, 24), “From out of the gloom have we risen,”—gloom is evil: it is gloom, evil, he thus drives away;—“beholding the higher light,”—this (terrestrial) world is higher than the water: it is on this world he thus establishes himself;—“God Surya, with the gods, the highest light,”—Surya, the highest light, is the heavenly world: it is in the heavenly world he thus finally establishes himself. He walks along without looking back, and puts a log of wood on the Ahavaniya, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XXXVIII, 25), “A kindler thou art, fire thou art: lay thou fire into me!” it is a blessing he thereby invokes.
