sa prajāpatim pitaram abhyāyacchat /
vi. 2. He grasped his father Prajāpati; he said to him, ‘Why dost thou grasp me?’ He replied, ‘Give me a name, for without a name assigned I shall not eat food here.’ He answered, ‘Thou art Bhava.’ Since the waters are Bhava, thereby Bhava harms him not, nor his offspring, nor his cattle, nor any one claiming to be his. He who hates him becomes worse, not he who knows thus; his vow is ‘A wet garment should one wear.’
