Now, next, the dying around of the gods.
This Brahman verily shines when the fire blazes; likewise, it dies when it blazes not. Its brilliance goes to the sun, it's vital breath to the wind. This Brahman verily shines when the sun is seen; likewise, it dies when it is not seen. Its brilliance goes to the moon, it's vital breath to the wind. This Brahman verily shines forth when the lightning flashes; likewise, it dies when it flashes not. Its brilliance goes to the regions of space, it's vital breath to the wind. All these divinities, verily, having entered into the wind, perish not when they die in the wind. There from, indeed, they come forth again. Thus, with reference to the divinities.
