Embryos indeed of the uktha-chants are the nivid-formulas.
As to their being placed before the uktha-chants at the morning-pressing,
therefore embryos are implanted facing away and come into being facing away.
As to their being placed in the middle at the midday-pressing,
therefore embryos are held in the middle.
As to their being placed at the end at the third pressing,
therefore from yonder, facing downwards, embryos are born for propagation.
He is propagated with offspring and cattle who knows thus.
Embellishments indeed of the uktha-chants are the nivid-formulas.
As to their being placed before the uktha-chants at the morning-pressing,
that is just like putting an embellishment at the beginning of weaving.
As to their being placed in the middle at the midday-pressing,
that is just like putting an embellishment in the middle.
As to their being placed at the end at the third pressing,
that is just like putting an embellishment at the fringe.
He shines with the embellishment of the sacrifice on every side who knows thus.
