Having placed day and night as substitutes in this world, he stepped upward with the forty-four [syllabled meter]. He went to where this world named Kāma is. Pleased with food, he created rivers between, so that this evil would not follow after. These very [rivers] he made milkers of desires (kāmadughā). He considered: 'Come, let me step upward.' He stepped upward with the forty-eight [syllabled meter]. He went to where this world named Suvar is. There he rested for a long time, [thinking:] 'Abundant is his own property.' That is his Suvar-nature (suvatā). He considered: 'Come, let me gather one world from these worlds.' From these worlds he gathered one world. That became this tenth day of the twelve-day rite. He said: 'Indeed, this has become painless (akam) for me.' In that he said, 'Indeed, this has become painless for me,' that is the firmament's (nāka) nature as firmament. This tenth day is indeed the firmament; this is the heavenly world; this is the highest summit of the sun.
