[...] Lord Brahmā was the charioteer, the gods were holders of the bridle (ś) [devā śdharā� smṛtā�]. Praṇava the Vedic divinity constituted the long whip of Brahma. The syllable A constituted the great umbrella, Mandara the side staff. The lord of mountains became his bow and the lord of serpents the bowstring. [...]�
