4. Gârgya said: "The person that is in the lightning (and in the heart), that I adore as Brahman.' Agâtasatru said to him : 'No, no! Do not speak to me on this. I adore him verily as the luminous.' Whoso adores him thus, becomes luminous, and his offspring becomes luminous.
5. Gârgya said: “The person that is in the ether (and in the ether of the heart), that I adore as Brahman.' Agatasatru said to him : 'No, no! Do not speak to me on this. I adore him as what is full, and quiescent.' Whoso adores him thus, becomes filled with offspring and cattle, and his offspring does not cease from this world.
6. Gârgya said: “The person that is in the wind (and in the breath), that I adore as Brahman.' Agâtasatru said to him : 'No, no! Do not speak to me on this. I adore him as Indra Vaikuntha, as the unconquerable army (of the Maruts).' Whoso adores him thus, becomes victorious, unconquerable, conquering his enemies.
