of clouds, and that art the embodiment of eternity!  Salutations to thee that art of well-developed body, that art of emaciated limbs, that bearest matted locks on thy head, and that art clad in barks of trees and skins of animals.  Salutations to thee that hast matted locks as effulgent as the Sun or the Fire, and that hast barks and skins for thy attire.  Salutations to thee that art possessed of the effulgence of a thousand Suns, and that art ever engaged in penances.  Salutations to thee that art the excitement of Fever and that art endued with matted locks drenched with the waters of the Ganges characterised by hundreds of eddies.  Salutations to thee that repeatedly revolvest the Moon, the Yugas, and the clouds.[1417] Thou art food, thou art he who eats that food, thou art the giver of food, thou art the grower of food, and thou art the creator of food.  Salutations to thee that cookest food and that eatest cooked food, and that art both wind and fire!  O lord of all the lords of the gods, thou art the four orders of living creatures, viz., the viviparous, the oviparous, the filth-born, and plants.  Thou art the Creator of the mobile and immobile universe, and thou art their Destroyer!  O foremost of all persons conversant with Brahma, they that are conversant with Brahma regard thee as Brahma!  The utterers of Brahma say that thou art the Supreme source of Mind, and the Refuge upon which Space, Wind, and Light rest.  Thou art the Richs and the Samans, and the syllable Om.  O foremost of all deities, those utterers of Brahma that sing the Samans constantly sing thee when they utter the syllables Hayi-Hayi, Huva-Hayi, and Huva-Hoyi.[1418] Thou art made up of the Yajuses, of the Richs, and of the offerings poured on the sacrificial fire.  The hymns contained in the Vedas and the Upanishads adore thee![1419] Thou art the Brahmanas and the Kshatriyas, the Vaisyas, and the Sudras, and the other castes formed by intermixture.  Thou art those masses of clouds that appear in the sky; thou art Lightning; and thou art the roar of thunder.  Thou art the year, thou art the seasons, thou art the month, and thou art the fortnight.  Thou art Yuga, thou art the time represented by a twinkle of the eye, thou art Kashtha, thou art the Constellations, thou art the Planets, thou art Kala.  Thou art the tops of all trees, thou art the highest summits of all mountains.  Thou art the tiger among the lower animals, thou art Garuda among birds, and thou art Ananta among snakes.  Thou art the ocean of milk among all oceans and thou art the bow among instruments for hurling weapons.  Thou art the thunder among weapons, and thou art Truth among vows.  Thou art Aversion and thou art Desire:  thou art attachment and thou art stupefaction (of judgment):  thou art Forgiveness and thou art Unforgiveness.  Thou art Exertion, and thou art Patience:  thou art Cupidity:  thou art Lust and thou art Wrath:  thou art Victory and thou art Defeat.  Thou art armed with mace, and thou art armed with shaft:
