Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Ywavalkya said: ‘ He said to thee, I suppose, that they went where those go who have performed a horse-sacrifice.’ He said: ‘And where do they go who have performed a horse-sacrifice? ’ Y&^wavalkya replied: ‘ Thirty-two journeys of the car of the sun is this world. The earth surrounds it on every side, twice as large, and the ocean surrounds this earth on every side, twice as large. Now there is between them a space as large as the edge of a razor or the wing of a mosquito. Indra, having become a bird, handed them (through the space) to Vayu (the air), and Vayu (the air), holding them within himself, conveyed them to where they dwell who have performed a horse-sacrifice. Somewhat in this way did he praise Viyu indeed. Therefore Vayu (air) is everything by itself, and Vayu is all things together. He who knows this, conquers death.’ After that Bhufyu LAhyayani held his peace.
