6. Now as to the sacrifice. That shining orb is the same as this gold plate (under the altar), and that glowing light is the same as this lotus-leaf (under the altar); for there are those (divine) waters, and the lotus-leaf is water; and that man in yonder orb is no other than this gold man (in the altar): thus, by laying down these (in the fire-altar), it is that (divine) triad he constructs. And after the consummation of the sacrifice it rises upwards and enters that shining (sun): one need not therefore mind destroying Agni, for he is then in yonder (world). Thus, then, in regard to the sacrifice.
