It is through the favour of the Brahmanas that the Kshatriyas are able to possess the eternal and undecaying Earth as their wife and me enjoy her. The power of the Brahmanas, again, is made up of Agni and Soma. The universe is kept up by that power and, therefore, is upheld by Agni and Soma united together.
क्षत्रमपि च ब्राह्मणप्रसादादेव शाश्वतीमव्ययां च पृथिवीं पत्नीमभिगम्य बुभुजे॥ यदेतद् ब्रह्माग्नीषोमीयं तेन जगद् धार्यते॥
