She stepped forth; in the Gārhapatya-fire she took her seat. A man becometh a thriving householder, a lord of the house, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Āhavanīya she took her seat. The Gods come unto his god-invitation; he becometh dear to the Gods, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Southern fire she took her seat. He becometh one whose sacrifice is in accord with Order, worthy of the fee, securely established, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Assembly-hall she took her seat. Men come unto his assembly; he becometh an assemblyman, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Samiti she took her seat. Men come unto his gathering; he becometh a member of the Samiti, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Invitation she took her seat. Men come unto his summons; he becometh one to be invited, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in mid-air, fourfold, having strode abroad, she stood fast.
वो अग्नि के पास गई और घर की अग्नि में बैठ गई। जो यह बात जानता है, उसका घर चलता रहता है। वो घर का मालिक बन जाता है। फिर वो हवन की अग्नि में बैठ गई। भगवान उसकी पूजा में आते हैं। वो भगवान को प्यारा लगता है। दक्षिणाग्नि में भी बैठ गई। उसका यज्ञ सही चलता है। वो धन पाता है। सभा में बैठ गई। लोग उसकी बात सुनने आते हैं। वो सभा का सदस्य बन जाता है। समिति में भी गई। लोग उसके पास आते हैं। वो सबके साथ रहता है। आमंत्रण में भी गई। लोग उसको बुलाते हैं। वो सबका दोस्त बन जाता है। आसमान में चार तरफ फैल गई और वहीं खड़ी हो गई।
