Viśva — “all, the universe”; the word from which comes viśvarūpa, “having the universe for form”.
After the five elements is named what they have composed.
The litany's order is now visible whole: the worlds, the waters, the heat, time and death, space — and now the whole.
Note that the thirty-third section will address Him directly: viśvarūpo 'si — “thou hast the universe for form”. From the third person the book will pass to the second.
And that is the structure of its whole first half: first He speaks of Himself; then the gods speak of Him; then they address Him.
Three steps: confession, doxology, prayer.
The next five sections will go in pairs: the gross and the subtle, the white and the black — and close with three single names.
