Parjanya (the god of rain), O Gautama, is fire, the year is its fuel, the clouds its smoke, lightning its flame, thunder its cinder, and the rumblings its sparks. In this fire the gods offer King Moon. Out of that offering rain is produced.

Swami Madhavananda 1934, The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
