And, again, as to how the one hundred and one-fold passes into the sevenfold one:--yonder sun, composed of a hundred and one parts, is established in the seven-syllabled Brahman, for the Brahman (holy writ or prayer) indeed consists of seven syllables,--'rik' is one syllable, 'yaguh' two, and 'sâma' two; and what other Brahman there is that is just the 'brahman' of two syllables--this seven-syllabled Brahman is the universe: therein that (sun) is established; and in like manner does the Sacrificer now establish himself in the seven-syllabled Brahman by constructing for himself a body one hundred and one-fold.
