He asked: 'Who are the six?' Yâgñavalkya replied: 'Agni (fire), Prithivî (earth), Vâyu (air), Antariksha (sky), Âditya (sun), Dyu (heaven), they are the six, for they are all this, the six.'

इसके पश्चात् इस याज्ञवल्वयसे शाकल्य विदग्धे पुद्धा, है याज्ञवल्क्य ! क्रितने देवगण हँ ?' तब याज्ञवल्क्यने इस आगे कही जानेवाली निविदुसे ही उनकी संख्याक प्रतिपादन् किया। दोहराया हुआ स्वर श्वास और अवधान को एक लय में लाता है, इसलिए शब्द यहाँ केवल सूचना नहीं, साधना का साधन है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
