The seers of the earliest time of creation in their communion receive and realise the chain of cause and effect from the first vibration of the original cause (Ritam) to the last and closing silence.

Dedicated to divinities of the world, I consecrate you. Dedicated to all nobilities, I consecrate you. Who ever does violence to the horsepower, energy and the nation, the supreme lord Varuna punishes him, the best man too takes him on. The killer is worse than the worst man. He is worse than a dog.

By yajna in truth of thought, word and deed, homage and surrender to the One, Supreme Soul of the universe. Homage to the two, Purusha, the supreme spirit, and Prakriti, one the efficient cause and the other the material cause of the world. Homage to the hundred (years of life and countless things). Homage to the hundred (years of life) and the one beyond. Homage to the fire, the reckoning and the dawn. Homage to Svarga, the joy of the next world.
