The Hindu Temple v1.c8.s8.6

v1.c8.s8.6

The pillar within the Temple corresponds to the vertical channel marked by the Svayamātṛṇṇā stones of the Fire Altar. In it move the immanent breaths of earth, air and heaven (Ś.B. VIII. 7. 3. 13; 19; 7. 4. 1), to the heaven-light (VIII. 7. 4. 6). The Agni finally is bestrewn with chips of gold (VIII. 7. 4. 7-9); the finial too, shines golden above the multiform body and raiment of the temple.
