37.218
Prajāpati indeed desired: 'May I become unbroken in offspring and cattle!' That is the nature of the Achidra. He becomes unbroken in offspring and cattle who knows thus. The gods indeed smoothed together the full speech from these worlds with the Achidra. Speech becomes full, as it were, at this point in the chandomas. They smooth it together with the Achidra. What one piles up with a flaw is not filled up; but what one piles up without a flaw is filled up. It becomes a greater overlapping: it steps over the ninth day, overlaps the tenth day, [and] runs back to the seventh. Prajāpati created cattle. Having been created, they departed from him. He desired: 'May cattle not depart from me; may they turn toward me!' He saw this sāman. With it he encompassed them. He seized them through preeminence. They took delight in him. Cattle take delight in him, he becomes rich in cattle, who knows thus.
