Then the Gārhapatya fire said to him (Upakosala): ‘The earth, fire, food, and the sun—these are all part of my (i.e., part of Brahman’s) body. The person seen in the solar orb is me. I am that’.
‘He who knows this Gārhapatya fire and worships it thus has all his sins removed, and he attains the world of the Gārhapatya fire. He lives a long and bright life, and his descendants do not perish. In this world and the next, we look after that person who knows this fire and worships it thus’.
