1.3.2.2

tasyeyameva juhūḥ | iyamupabhṛdātmaiva dhruvā tadvā ātmana evemāni sarvāṇyaṅgāni prabhavanti tasmādu dhruvāyā eva sarvo yajñaḥ prabhavati

The guhû (spoon) further belongs to that (man-shaped sacrifice), and so does the upabhrit; and the dhruvâ represents its trunk. Now it is from the trunk that all these limbs proceed, and for this reason the entire sacrifice proceeds from the dhruvâ.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
