अर्थMeaning
Now with regard to the deities. Agni (fire) held, I shall burn; Âditya (the sun) held, I shall warm; Kandramas (the moon) held, I shall shine; and thus also the other deities, each according to the deity. And as it was with the central breath among the breaths, so it was with Vâyu, the wind among those deities. The other deities fade, not Vâyu. Vâyu is the deity that never sets.

व्याख्याVyakhya
अब अधिदैवत (देवताओं के सम्बन्ध में): अग्नि ने व्रत लिया, 'मैं जलता ही रहूँगा'; आदित्य ने, 'मैं तपता रहूँगा'; चन्द्रमा ने, 'मैं चमकता रहूँगा'; इसी प्रकार अन्य देवताओं ने भी अपने-अपने देवत्व के अनुसार। जैसे इन प्राणों में मध्यम प्राण है, वैसे ही इन देवताओं में वायु है; अन्य देवता अस्त हो जाते हैं, वायु नहीं। यह वायु वह देवता है जो कभी अस्त नहीं होता।
