He sings on the seed-[verse]; he pours seed thereby. He strengthens that poured seed by the Gāyatrī, an extensive meter; he strengthens it by the Triṣṭubh, an extensive meter; he strengthens it by the Jagatī, an extensive meter indeed. In that he strengthens it by a more and more extensive meter, therefore of a growing [child] the vital power becomes greater and greater. He comes to the end with the Anuṣṭubh, a shorter meter; therefore in later age one grows smaller, as it were. He comes to an end with the Paṅkti; therefore in the fifth month embryos develop. He comes to an end with the Anuṣṭubh, speech; therefore one listens to the speech of an old man. The Bahiṣpavamāna is indeed the head of the sacrifice; that indeed is it. The seed-[verse] is the entire self itself. That in the Bahiṣpavamāna—
