The Sunâsîrîya, doubtless, is this left arm,--the five oblations which it has in common (with the other Seasonal offerings) are these five fingers; the Sunâsîrîya is that joint of his above the hand; that (oblation) to Vâyu is this (elbow); that to Sûrya this arm: this (oblation) is indistinct, whence this (limb) also is indistinct.
