MANTRA (1.106.1): GIVERS OF DWELLING
We invoke
Indra, Mitra, Varuņa, Agni,
The host of
Maruts and Aditi for our increase;

Rescue us
completely from (the effects of) all our sins just as a car
takes a person in an inaccessible place (to safety).

Details:
The Gods prepare the appropriate abodes in the inner body of the
seeker so that the devās can reside there.

condition.
