The summits of the heaven are traversed through and through by the Immortal's light, Vaisvanara's brilliancy. All creatures in existence rest upon his head. The Seven swift-flowing Streams have grown like branches forth,

Vaisvanara, who measured out the realms of air, Sage very wise who made the lucid spheres of heaven, The Undeceivable who spread out all the worlds, keeper is he and guard of immortality.
