3. Then Somashushma Satyayajni said, “I, O king, make offering to light in light.”—“How is that?” asked the king.—“Well, Aditya is light: to him I make offering in Agni in the evening; and Agni, indeed, is light: to him I make offering in Aditya in the morning.”—“What becomes of him who offers in this way? He verily becomes lightsome, and glorious, and prosperous; and attains to the fellowship of those two deities, and to an abode in their world.”
