'Ākāśa surely is greater than fire. In Ākāśa, indeed, exist both the sun and the moon, lightning, stars and fire. Through Ākāśa one calls, through Ākāśa one hears, through Ākāśa one hears the response. In Ākāśa one rejoices, in Ākāśa one does not rejoice. In Ākāśa a thing is born, and towards Ākāśa it grows. Worship Ākāśa.
