"Indeed, Speech, being created, unfolded fourfold.
Three [parts] in these very worlds, the fourth in cattle.
That which is on earth is in Agni, that in the Rathantara;
that which is in the intermediate space is in Vāyu, that in the Vāmadevya;
that which is in heaven is in Āditya, that in the Bṛhat, that in thunder.
