    Meaning

    One should make food abundant; that is the vow. The earth, verily, is food; space (akasha) is the eater of food. Space is established in the earth; the earth is established in space. Thus is this food established in food. He who knows this food established in food becomes established; he becomes a possessor and eater of food; he becomes great in offspring, cattle, and the radiance of sacred knowledge, and great in fame.
