3, "The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet".⁴⁴ Sāyaṇa sets it down to light, and that the rays of the sun are likened to dust, may be accepted as the true meaning by reference to a verse in the Seventh Book, in which Viṣṇu is said to have "enveloped the earth on every side with beams of light". (VII. 99. 3)
