Translation

Tr. The Gods who are in the luminous world above the Heavens, with those Maruts, O Agni, come.

Commentary

The third station in the lower triple world is called the Heaven. This is the derivation; that in which there is no unhappiness, na akam ; thus they derive resorting to the compound of negation. Of that heaven-named in the triple world, nākasya adhi above; rocane in the shining; divi in a particular place in the luminous world, 'in the seventh, the station of Vayu', says Skandasvamin (seven are the divisions of Maruts spoken of); ye devāḥ āsate the gods that are; with those Maruts (as before). Though the Maruts belong to the mid-region and are by nature Life-Powers, being connected with Indra they spread, by the glory of Indra, as far as the world Heaven, his abode That is how they are described in Mantras elsewhere 'strong in themselves, seers, sun-skinned”.
