> For it he sought a support. For it he found the waters. In them he sought a support with the Rathantara; he did not find \[it\]. In them, with the Bṛhat, he did not find \[it\]. In them, with the Vairūpa, he did not find \[it\]. In them, with the Vairāja, he did not find \[it\]. In them, with the Mahānāmnīs, he did not find \[it\]. In them, with the Revatīs, he did not find \[it\] at all. In them, with the Vāravantīya, he indeed found \[it\]. In that he found \[it\], that is the Vāravantīya-nature of the Vāravantīya. In this \[earth\] they establish the sacrifice. Fire indeed is Vaiśvānara, which is the Vāravantīya; and the waters are the Revatīs. Therefore, when the Vāravantīya is \[sung\] upon the Revatīs, hence the waters have fire as their womb. The pṛṣṭhas, as it were, grow old when they come to the sixth day. Surely, no semen remains in an old man. In that the Vāravantīya is the pṛṣṭha, \[it is\] for the propagation of the further sacrificial rites.
