Translation/Explanation
Hindi: उस (परमात्मा) के भय से अग्नि जलती है; उसके भय से सूर्य चमकता है; उसके भय से इन्द्र और वायु (अपना कार्य करते हैं); और मृत्यु, पाँचवाँ (तत्व), दौड़ता है।
English: From fear of Him (paramātmā), agni burns; from fear, sūrya shines; from fear, indra and vāyu (perform their functions); and mṛtyu, the fifth (principle), runs.
Commentary
This mantra explains how the cosmic order is maintained out of fear or awe of the Supreme (paramātmā). The agni (fire) burns, the sūrya (sun) shines, indra (the king of deities) and vāyu (wind) act, and mṛtyu (Death), the fifth, runs—all due to the presence of the Supreme as the ultimate controller. If brahman were not present as the regulator of these powerful cosmic forces, their orderly functioning, like that of servants trembling before a master, would not be possible.
