10.1.2.4
ātmaivāgniḥ prāṇo mahāvrataṃ vāṅ mahadukthaṃ tasmādetāni sarvāṇi sahopeyātsaha hyātmā prāṇo vāktadyadagniḥ prathamaścīyata ātmā hi prathamaḥ sambhavataḥ sambhavati
The Fire-altar, indeed, is the body (trunk), the Great Rite the breath, and the Great Litany speech: all these one ought therefore to undertake together, for body, breath, and speech belong together; and as to why the Fire-altar is built first, it is because of him who is produced the trunk is produced first.
