One is on this side, the other from here; from earth the two Fires have met in the space between the two firmaments. Upon those two rest the firm rays; upon those he stands fast by his tapas—the Brahmacārin.
दो आग हैं, एक इस तरफ, एक उस तरफ। दोनों धरती से आके आसमान के बीच मिल गई हैं। उन दोनों पर धागे तने हैं जो पक्के हैं। ब्रह्मचारी उनपर अपनी तपस्या से खड़ा रहता है।
