He then sings the heart of Pragâpati;--the heart assuredly is yonder sun, for he (the sun) is smooth, and the heart is smooth; he is round, and the heart is round. On the body (of the altar) he sings, for the heart is in the body;--at the armpit, for the heart is in (the vicinity of) the armpit;-- at the right armpit, for the heart is nearer thereto: he thus makes the sun his (Agni's) heart, and that heart of his he thus makes boneless and immortal.
