sa yadgārhapatye sādayati | gṛhā vai gārhapatyo gṛhā vai pratiṣṭhāyām pratitiṣṭhati tatho hainameṣa vajro na hinasti tasmādgārhapatye sādayati
The reason then why he places it near the Gârhapatya fire is, that the Gârhapatya is a house, and a house is a safe resting-place; so that he thereby stands firmly in a house, and therefore in a safe resting-place: in this way that thunderbolt does not destroy him,--for this reason he places it near the Gârhapatya fire.
