vii. 1. 20.
1To Agni hail! To Vayu hail! To Surya hail!
2Thou art holy order, thou art the holy order of holy order; thou art truth, thou art the truth of truth!
3Thou art the path of holy order, the shadow of the gods, the name of immortality; thou art truth, thou art Prajapati.
4When on him as on a steed in swift movements, The folk of the sky vie with the sun; Choosing the waters the sage becometh pure, Like a beast the busy guardian that goeth around.
