3. Life’s fires, in truth, remain awake in this city.
The out-breath (*apāna*) is the Gārhapatya (Householder’s) fire. The diffused breath (*vyāna*) is the Anvāhāryapacana (Southern Sacrificial) fire. The in-breath (*prāṇa*) is the Āhavanīya (Oblation) fire, from “being taken” (*praṇayana*), since it is taken (*praṇīyate*) from the Gārhapatya fire.
