That son of Ūrva said with a feeble voice, to his father, immediately on being born "Father! I am oppressed by hunger, pray direct me to consume the universe" Saying so, the fire Aurva ascended to heaven, and with the intention of consuming everything all round, increased itself in bulk, and spread itself in all directions.—51-52
