अ॒मा घृ॒तं कृ॑णुते॒ केव॑लमाचा॒र्यो भू॒त्वा वरु॑णो॒ यद्य॒दैच्छत् प्र॒जाप॑तौ । तद् ब्र॑ह्मचा॒री प्राय॑च्छत् स्वन् मि॒त्रो अध्या॒त्मनः॑

At home he makes ghee, and that alone: the Teacher, becoming Varuṇa, whatsoever he desired in Prajāpati— that the Brahmacārin handed forth; heaven—Mitra—within the self.
घर में वो सिर्फ घी बनाता है। गुरु जब वरुण बनता है, जो चाहता है वो पा लेता है। ब्रह्मचारी उसे दे देता है। यह स्वर्ग अंदर से मिलता है।
