HYMN XVII

His first diffused breath is this Earth.
His second diffused breath is that Firmament.
His third diffused breath is that Heaven.
His fourth diffused breath are those Constellations.
His fifth diffused breath are the Seasons.
His sixth diffused breath are the Season-groups.
His seventh diffused breath is the year.
With one and the same object the Gods go round the Year and
the Seasons follow round the Vratya.
When they surround the Sun on the day of New Moon, and that
time of Full Moon.
That one immortality of theirs is just an oblation.
