The sages said:: He is the bridge (or boundary) among bounds of the worlds (?); he is the holy sacrifice among those of middling holy rites. He is the Vedya (one who is to be known) to the scholars in Vedic lore. He is the lord of those who are of powerful souls. To the living beings, he is like the Soma (Moon). To those of fiery splendour he is like fire. Among human beings he is the Manu. He is the penance of sages, performers of penance. To those who are contented with good behaviour he is modesty, he is the splendid grandeur of those possessing glorious splendour.
