भूर्भुवःस्वस्तरुस्तारः सविता प्रपितामहः। यज्ञो यज्ञपतिर्यज्वा यज्ञाङ्गो यज्ञवाहनः॥१०४॥

He is the essence of all the three worlds—bhūr, bhuvaḥ, and svaḥ—sustaining existence at every level. As the eternal taru or divine tree, He gives shelter and nourishment; as tāraḥ, He helps beings cross the ocean of bondage; He is savitā, the cosmic energizer like the sun; and prapitāmahaḥ, the great-grandfather of all, even of Brahmā himself. He is the very act of sacrifice—yajjaḥ; the yajjapati, the Lord of all sacrificial rites; the yajvā, the performer of those sacrifices; with yajjāṅga, His very limbs representing elements of the yajña; and as yajjavāhanaḥ, He is the carrier and receiver of all offerings, making every act of surrender reach the divine.
