Then comes the powerful Wind of iinmeasurable force, in his eight forms, who devours speedily that blazing fire of transcendent force, possessed of seven flames, and al one with the heat that exists in every crcature. Having devoured that fire, the Wind passes in every direction, upwards, downwards and transversely.
तमप्रमेयोऽतिबलं ज्वलमानं विभावसुम्। ऊष्माणं सर्वभूतानां सप्तार्चिषमथाञ्जसा॥ भक्षयामास भगवान् वायुरष्टात्मको बली। विचरन्नमितप्राणस्तिर्यगूर्ध्वमधस्तथा॥
