मनसि-इन्दुं दिशः श्रोत्रे क्रान्ते विष्णुं बले हरम् । वाच्य् अग्निं मित्रम् उत्सर्गे प्रजने च प्रजापतिम् ॥

On the moon as one with the internal organ, on the quarters of the horizon as one with his sense of hearing, on Vishnu as one with his (power of) motion, on Hara as the same with his strength, on Agni (Fire) as identical with his speech, on Mitra- — as identical with his excretions, and on Prajāpati as one with his organ of generation.
