Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
‘ The altar, O Gautama, is Par^anya (the god of rain); the fuel is the year itself, the smoke the clouds, the light the lightning, the coals the thunderbolt, the sparks the thunderings. On that altar the Devas offer Soma, the king (the moon). From that oblation rises rain.
