Yaa: tisra paramajaa:Oh VirAt Purushaa! May Thou complete the the three layers of chitais and any gaps in between them!
 
IndhraghOshA vO vasubhirEvaahyEvEti=
Jalam should be placed in earthern wares with the mantrams starting with"Indhra-ghOshAvO Vasubhi: purastAdhupadhAth".
( The meanings of these mantrams are covered in the 20th anuvAkam).
 
Pancha chitaya upadadhAti=The five layers( adukku) of chitais should be placed in this way.( Why so?) .
 
agni: paankta:= This is because the Agni that is being worshipped is of five kinds.
 
agni: yaavaan yEva tamm chinutE=This Agni being worshipped enters into every one of the five chitais and enjoys the offerings .
 
lOkam pruNayaa dhviteeyaam upadadhAti
The second layer should be set up with the two klaasams , lOkam and PruNai.
 
VirAt panchapadhA: vai= It is well established ( Prasiddham) that VirAt Purushan shines in Five forms.
 
TasyA iyam vai paadha:= It is well understood that this bhU lOkam is one division or Pahuti .
 
antariksham paadha:= the mid sapce is the second part.
 
dhyou paadha:= the heavens are the third part .
 
diSa: paadha:= The directions are the fourth part .
 
ParOrajA: paadha:= The tripAth vibhUti beyond this universe with rajas ( maasu padintha ivvulaham) is the fifth part.
 
ya: yEtamagnim chinutE ucha ya: yEnam yEvam vEdha (sa:) VirAji pratitishtathy =
One who meditates on this Agni in this manner and understands its svaroopam gets established in VirAt Purushan by gaining sarvAtma bhAvam .
 
Gaayatri Mantram's fourth paadham that is used by uttama Jn~Anis ( Paro rajsase---) is being saluted here.According to Purusha sooktam , the first three paadhams of Gaayatri are 
considered as one fourth of this universe and the fourth paadham is understood as the rest ( the remaining three fourth bhAgam) of the Universe free from rajas(maasu) :" PaadhOsya ViSvA bhUtAni , 
tripAdhasyAmrutam dhivi". The other Purusha Sookta Mantrams to be recalled in this context are:
 
VirAjO ati poorusha:=the ViSvaroopam of BhagavAn appearing as VirAt Purushan is fully described by Purusha Sooktam.
 
" VedhAhamEtam Purusham mahAntam" =
The Rishi states that he knows this Mahaa Purushan .
 
"TamEvam vidhvAn amruta iha bhavathy"
One who understands BhagavAn in this way is blessed wiht eternal life here itself .
 
" Tasya dEvA: asanvase "= The various dEvAs come under His rulership .
 
Thus the vaibhavam of the UpAsanaa of Virat Purushan is described .
