6.2.3.3

They said, 'Meditate ye yet!' whereby no doubt they meant to say, 'Seek ye a layer! seek ye (to build) from hence upwards!' Whilst they were meditating, Indra and Agni, and Visvakarman saw the air, as a second naturally-perforated layer: hence he lays on that (brick) by means of Indra and Agni, and Visvakarman.
