The gods boast of a victory that Brahman won for them. Brahman appears as an unknown spirit. Agni, who can burn everything, cannot burn a straw; Vayu, who can carry off everything, cannot move it. Before Indra the spirit vanishes, and Uma Haimavati appears and tells him it was Brahman. The three gods rank above the others for coming nearest, and Indra first for knowing it first.
