> Just as all knowledges of birth are established in Prajāpati here, in the very same way all the stotras are established in the Vāmadevya. The Vāmadevya is the womb. On the tenth day they make it slip from the womb. Therefore, ten-month embryos slip from the womb for procreation. The Vāmadevya is the breaths. Regarding this they say: 'Those who fail in a ritual action of the sacrifice are deprived of breaths, or perhaps they do not fail. For who knows whether they fail or not?' In that the Vāmadevya is \[chanted\] here, they are prospered with the breaths. The Vāmadevya is real among the stotras, Agni is real among the deities, the virāj is real among the meters, the thirty-three-fold \[stoma\] is real among the stomas. Depositing \[it\] in reality, they conclude the rite; they become real. This four-footed, invulnerable sacrificial throne the performer of the twelve-day rite mounts at the end: the Vāmadevya sāman, Agni the deity, the virāj meter, the thirty-three-fold stoma. He indeed mounts it who knows thus.
