[Vâg. S. XI, 4] 'They harness the mind, and they harness the thoughts,'--for both the mind and the vital airs he harnesses for this holy work;--'the priests of the priest,'--the priest is Pragâpati, and the priests are the gods;--'of the great inspirer of devotion,'--the great inspirer of devotion is Pragâpati;--'he hath assigned the priestly offices,'--now when he (Agni-Pragâpati) is built up, then he assigns the priestly offices, for the priestly offices are assigned over the built-up (fire-altar);--'the finder of rites,'--for he indeed found this rite;--'he alone,' for he alone found this whole holy rite;--'mighty is the praise of the god Savitri,'--that is, 'great is the praise of the god Savitri.'
