'Ether (or space) is better than fire. For in the ether exist both sun and moon, the lightning, stars, and fire (agni). Through the ether we call, through the ether we hear, through the ether we answer. In the ether or space we rejoice (when we are together), and rejoice not (when we are separated). In the ether everything is born, and towards the ether everything tends when it is born. Meditate on ether.

In plain words: Space is greater than fire, because the sun, moon, stars and fire all exist in space. We call, hear and answer through space. We are happy when we are together in it and sad when apart. Everything is born in space and grows toward it.
