mukhena garbhaṃ labhatāṃ yuvānau gatāsuretatprapadena sūte |
sadyo jāto mātaramatti garbhastāvaśvinau muñcatho jīvase gāḥ || 70 ||

"Ye are the parents of all! As males and females it is ye that swallow the food which subsequently develops into the life creating fluid and blood! The new-born infant sucks the teat of its mother. Indeed it is ye that take the shape of the infant! Ye Aswins, grant me my sight to protect my life!"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
