Hence, utterers of Brahma practise penances which have myself for their goal. In the midst of all those vital airs which swallow up one another and move within the body, shines forth the fire called Vaishvanara made up of seven flames. The nose, the tongue, the eye, the skin, the car which numbers the fifth, the mind, and the understanding, these are the seven tongues of that Vaishvanara's flame. That which is smelt that which is seen, that which is drunk, that which is touched, as also that which is heard, that which is thought of, and that which is understood, these are the seven sorts of fuel for me. That which smells, that which eats, that which sces, that which touches, that which sees, that which touches, that which hears, numbering the fifth; that which thinks, and that which understands, these are the seven great officiating priests.
