It became boiled rice. That is boiled rice's nature as boiled rice. This is the twofold form of food: both what one drinks and what one eats. What one drinks is of the nature of the churned potion; what one eats is of the nature of boiled rice. Both indeed are obtained in the house of him who knows thus: both what one drinks and what one eats. Regarding this they say: 'Three drops come: a drop of water, a drop of ghee, a drop of honey.' Thereupon, the drop of water enters this [earth], the drop of ghee enters the plants, the drop of honey enters the trees. Now, Āmalaka Ākūpayeya, Ahīnā Āśvatthi, and Keśī Dārbhya discussed this: 'What drop do you think comes? What drop do you? What drop do you?' Keśī said: 'I think it is the drop of ghee.' Then Ahīnā said: 'I think it is the drop of honey.' Then Āmalaka said: 'I think it is the drop of water.' In that very [opinion] they concurred; for everything here is born from water. Then that speech which he emitted, that is Fire; and that breath which he breathed after it, that is Indra; and he who was the begetter of creatures, in the Bull, the world of food, within the waters,
