COMMENTARY_SUMMARY TRANSLATION This Aditi is the mid-air, which is reputed by the name Antariksha. That is not visible as it is the meeting place of the upper and lower worlds. She is Bhuvaḥ, the second Vyähști, which indicates the Yajus and its meaning. She is the element water which is the home of Indra. That is his secret home. Cf. “In the mid-air his feet are concealed" (Rg. I-22-17). "His feet cannot be seen in the mid-air (pyayane)" ( Nir. 12-19-1). That is its derivation. "Vishnu pervaded all this" (Rg. I-22-17). The mid-region is the support of both the worlds Dyau and Pţthvi, and of the lightning as well. It is between the two worlds being the meeting place. It is called the navel. The navel of the Supreme Purusha. Cf. “In the navel of the unborn, there was one essence in which all the worlds were located" (Rg. X-83-6). The unknowableness of this place is further referred to: “There are three worlds of light, two are supported by the sun; the third one is in Yama's place; he is the controller of the mid-world. All the immortals resort to the mid-world which is like the axle of the chariot of the universe. Let him who knows it tell me" (Rg. I-35-6).
