Then behind (he lays down one), with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XV, 12), “All-ruling thou art, the western region,” for all-ruling indeed is that western region;—“The divine Adityas are thine overlords,” for the divine Adityas are indeed the overlords of that region;—“Varuna is the repeller of shafts,” for Varuna, indeed, is here the repeller of shafts;—“The Saptadasha-stoma may uphold thee on earth!” for by the seventeenfold hymn it is indeed upheld on earth;—“The Marutvatiya-shastra may support thee for steadiness’ sake!” for by the Marutvatiya-shastra it is indeed supported on earth for steadiness’ sake;—“the Vairupa-saman for stability in the air!” for by the Vairupa-saman it is indeed established in the air;—“May the Rishis, the first-born, magnify thee among the gods . . .!” the import of this has been explained.
