Having understood that, he again approached his father Varuṇa, and said: ‘Declare Brahma, Sir!’
Then he said to him: ‘Desire to understand Brahma by austerity. Brahma is austerity!’
He performed austerity. Having performed austerity, he understood that Brahma is mind (*manas*). For truly, indeed, beings here are born from mind, when born they live by mind, on deceasing they enter into mind.
