Sukta 10.90
यत्पुरुषेण हविषा देवा यज्ञमतन्वत । वसन्तो अस्यासीदाज्यं ग्रीष्म इध्मः शरद्धविः ॥
yát púruṣeṇa havíṣā devā́ yajñám atanvata | vasantó asyāsīd ā́jyaṃ grī́ṣma idhmáḥ śarád dhavíḥ ||
When the gods extended the sacrifice with Purusha as the offering, Spring became his ghee, Summer his fuel, Autumn his oblation: the whole rhythm of time is taken as the means for the inner offering by which consciousness is transformed.
