'And as policemen, magistrates, equerries, and governors wait for a king who is coming back, with food and drink, saying, "He comes back, he approaches," thus do all the elements wait on him who knows this, saying, "That Brahman comes, that Brahman approaches."

In plain words: Officials wait with food and drink for a king who is returning home. In the same way, all the elements of nature wait for the person who knows this truth, saying, "Here comes Brahman."
