The world named Upodaka is entered into food; human beings are the guardians; Agni is the sovereign; its form is the form of the flame; it is established in the waters. The world named Ṛtadhāman is entered into birds; the Gandharvas and Apsarases are the guardians; Vāyu is the sovereign; white is the form; it is established in breath. The world named Aparājita is entered into the lunar mansions; the moon is the guardian; Āditya is the sovereign; its form is the form of the sun rising and setting; it is established in mind. The world named Adhidyu is entered into sacrifice; the Ādityas are the guardians; Varuṇa is the sovereign; its form is dark-blue—that which is black in Parjanya when about to rain, that is dark-blue, or like that of a golden jewel; it is established in untruth. The world named Pradyu is entered into the immortal; the Rudras are the guardians; Death is the sovereign; red is the form, like that of a reddish garment or a Māhārohaṇa cloth; it is established in truth (ṛta), in that which he does not fail. The world named Rocana is entered into heat (tapas); the Vasus are the guardians, for they went first among the gods, therefore they are in the highest sphere; Sacrifice is the sovereign; its form is the form of bright gold; it is established in truth (satya). These are the worlds; these are the guardians; these are the sovereigns. These worlds indeed become his, these become [his] sovereigns, who knows thus.
