3.2.1 Its southward rays are its southern honey channels. The Yajus formulas are the bees; the Yajurveda is the flower; there are the nectar waters.
3.2.2 These Yajus formulas heated this Yajurveda. From it, heated, arose the essence of glory, radiance, strength, vigor, and nourishing food.
3.2.3 It flowed forth and settled about the sun. This is the sun's white appearance.
