11.1.2.3

ayaṃ vai yajño yo'yam pavate so'yameka ivaiva pavate so'yam puruṣe'ntaḥ praviṣṭo daśadhāvihitaḥ sa evam kLptaiḥ prāṇairagneryoneradhijāyate saiṣā daśākṣarā virāṭ saiṣā sampatsa yajñaḥ

And, indeed, this sacrifice is the blowing (wind): he blows here, as it were, as a single one, but when he has entered into man, he is divided into ten parts;--with the vital airs thus distributed, it (the sacrifice) is born from out of its womb, the fire: this is that Virâg of ten syllables, this is that perfection, the sacrifice.

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