Now, he who is seated within the lotus of the heart and eats food, he is this fire residing in heaven, solar, called Time, invisible, who eats all beings as food. 'What is the lotus, and of what consists it?' This indeed is that lotus: this space. Its four directions and four intermediate directions are arranged as petals. These two, vital breath and the sun, wander nearby. One should worship these with the syllable Oṃ, with the sacred utterances (vyāhṛtis), and with the Sāvitrī.
