11.2.1.2
tā vā etāḥ ekādaśa sāmidhenīranvāha daśa vā ime puruṣe prāṇā ātmaikādaśo yasminnete prāṇāḥ pratiṣṭhitā etāvānvai puruṣastadenaṃ kṛtsnaṃ janayatyatha yadūrdhvaṃ sāmidhenībhyaḥ sā pratiṣṭhā tadenaṃ janayitvā pratiṣṭhāpayati
He (the Hotri) recites those eleven kindling-verses,--there are these ten vital airs in man, and the body in which these vital airs are established is the eleventh,--so great, indeed, is man: he thus causes him to be born complete. And what comes after the kindling-verses that is the foundation: thus, having caused him to be born, he establishes him.
