v1.c6.s5.59
The south-east corner is held by Agni where Īśāna occupies the north-east. Where Agni is stationed in the north-east, the south-east corner is the place of Vāyu; Agni and Vāyu are interchanged, each of them being a Vasu: Agni (Anala) moreover is the son of Vāyu (Anila). Movement (Vāyu from ‘va’, to go, to move) gives birth to fire, the terrestrial fire, Agni as Vasu, and it is in this capacity, as world protector, that Agni is assigned to the south-east (Mbh. Ādi. 67. 18-25)⁹⁸.
