Lexicon
of Rig Veda
The image symbolizing region of Heaven. The absolute freedom of Heaven from any barriers, defects and heaviness, its full serenity, permeability and bright infinitude are imaged by the figure of ether. Further down the substance becomes more dense, gross and heavy – at first the airspace, still penetrable by rays but allowing turbulence, conflict and blasts of Wind, then the density, hardness, heaviness of Earth.
