Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
An oblation duly thrown into the fire, reaches the sun; from the sun comes rain, from rain food, therefrom the living creatures (derive their subsistence). j J. As all living creatures subsist by receiving support from air, even so (the members of) all orders subsist by receiving support from the householder.
