### [c9.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.bloomfield-1908.c9.14)

Whence, forsooth, arose he, and whence was he created?  
  
The breath of gods and source of life is Vāta.  
This god doth journey whithersoe'er he listeth,  
His sound is heard but no one sees his figure.  
With our oblation let us this Vāta honor!
