7.2.1.1

athāto nairṛtīrharanti | etadvai devā gārhapatyaṃ citvā samārohannayaṃ vai loko gārhapatya imameva taṃ lokaṃ saṃskṛtya samārohaṃste tama evānatidṛśyamapaśyan

They now take the Nirriti (bricks) from there. For, having built the Gârhapatya, the gods then ascended it,--the Gârhapatya being this (earth-) world, it is this world they ascended after completing it. They saw nothing but darkness not to be seen through.
