'To them (I stretch) ten (fingers) forwards, ten to the right, ten backwards, ten to the left, ten upwards,'--of ten syllables consists the Virâg, and Agni is Virâg; there are ten seasons, and Agni is the seasons; there are ten vital airs, and Agni is the vital airs: as great as Agni is, as great as is his measure, with so much food he thus gratifies them.
