Here Vishṇu's stood, there Bhaga's[431] shrine,

And there Mahendra's, Lord divine;

Here His who formed this earthly frame,[432]

His there from whom all beings came.[433]

Váyu's,[434] and His who loves to hold

The great noose, Varuṇ[435] mighty-souled:

Here was the Vasus'[436] shrine to see,

Here that of sacred Gáyatrí,[437]

The king of serpents[438] here had place,

And he who rules the feathered race.[439]
