Paryāya the seventeenth
Paryāya the seventeenth
His out-breathing that is first, that is this earth.
His out-breathing that is second, that is the atmosphere.
His out-breathing that is third, that is the sky.
His out-breathing that is fourth, that is the asterisms.
His out-breathing that is fifth, that is the seasons.
His out-breathing that is sixth, that is they of the seasons.
His out-breathing that is seventh, that is the year.
The gods go about the same purpose (ártha); thus (etát) verily the seasons go about after the year and the Vrātya.
As they enter together into the sun (ādityá), just so [do they] also into new-moon day and full-moon day.
One [is] that immortality of theirs: to this effect (íti) [is] the offering.
