Sukīrtiṃ śaṃsati.
devayonir vai Sukīrtis, tad yajñād devayonyai yajamānam prajanayati
Vṛṣākapiṃ śaṃsaty.
ātmā vai Vṛṣākapir, ātmānam evāsya tat kalpayati
taṃ nyūṅkhayaty.
annaṃ vai nyūṅkhas,
tad asmai jātāyānnādyam pratidadhāti yathā kumārāya stanaṃ
sa pāṅkto bhavati.
pāṅkto 'yam puruṣaḥ pañcadhā vihito:
lomāni tvaṅ māṃsam asthi majjā.
sa yāvān eva puruṣas, tāvantaṃ yajamānaḥ saṃskaroti
tam brāhmaṇācchaṃsī janayitvāchāvākāya samprayachaty:
etasya tvam pratiṣṭhāṃ kalpayeti

vi. 29 (xxx. 3). He recites the Sukīrti (hymn); the Sukīrti hymn is a birthplace of the gods; thus he produces the sacrificer from the sacrifice as a divine birthplace. He recites the Vṛṣākapi (hymn); the Vṛṣākapi is the body; verily thus he makes a body for it. He recites it with the sound *o*; the sound *o* is food; thus to it on birth he gives food as the breast to a child. It is in Paṅktī verses; man is fivefold and arranged in five divisions, hair, skin, flesh, bone, marrow. As great as is man, so great does he make the sacrificer. Having produced him the Brāhmaṇācchaṅsin hands him over to the Achāvāka (saying) ‘Do thou fashion a support for him’.
