Only Brahman

Agni became the organ of speech and entered the mouth. Vayu became the organ of smell and entered the nose. Surya became the organ of sight and entered the eyes. The gods of the directions became the organs of hearing and entered the ears. the herbs and the trees became organs of touch and entered the skin. The moon entered the heart and the god of death entered the navel.

Hunger and thirst asked the brahman, "What about us? What will happen to us?"

"You will live in the bodies of the gods," replied the Brahman. "Whenever oblations are offered to the gods, you will receive a share."
