Paryāya the eighteenth
Paryāya the eighteenth
Of that Vrātya—
As for (yát) his right eye, that is yonder sun (ādityá) as for his left eye, that is yonder moon.
As for his right ear, that is this fire; as for his left ear, that is this cleansing one ('wind').
Day-and-night [are his] two nostrils; Diti and Aditi [his] two skull-halves; the year [his] head.
With the day [is] the Vrātya westward, with the night eastward: homage to the Vrātya.
