10.5.4.2
antarikṣaṃ ha tvevaiṣo'gniścitaḥ tasya dyāvāpṛthivyoreva saṃdhiḥ pariśritaḥ pareṇa hāntarikṣaṃ dyāvāpṛthivī saṃdhattastāḥ pariśrito vayāṃsi yajuṣmatya iṣṭakā varṣaṃ sūdadohā marīcayaḥ purīṣamāhutayaḥ samidho vāyurlokampṛṇā tadvā etatsarvaṃ vāyumevābhisampadyate tatsarvo'gnirlo
But, indeed, that Fire-altar also is the air:--the function of heaven and earth (the horizon) is its (circle of) enclosing-stones, for it is beyond the air that heaven and earth meet, and that (junction) is the (circle of) enclosing-stones; the birds are its Yagushmatî bricks, the rain its Sûdadohas, the rays of light its earth-fillings, oblations and fire-logs; Vâyu (the wind) is its space-filler; thus this comes to make up the whole Agni, and the whole Agni comes to be the space-filler; and, verily, whosoever knows this, thus comes to be that whole (Agni) who is the space-filler.
