अग्निं वायौ समावेश्य वायुं च नभसि क्षिपेत् ।
नभश्च महदाकाशे समस्तोत्पत्तिकारणे ॥ १७ ॥

agniṃ vāyau samāveśya vāyuṃ ca nabhasi kṣipet |
nabhaśca mahadākāśe samastotpattikāraṇe || 17 ||

Thus the yogi by contracting his thought of the former one under the latter, will engross his thought of heat under that of air, and this again under his idea of vacuum, which last is swallowed up by his thought of the great cause of all.
