11.2.1.3
nava prasavasya vyāhṛtayaḥ navame puruṣe prāṇāstadenaṃ dvitīyaṃ janayatyāśrāvaṇam pratyāśrāvaṇaṃ sā pratiṣṭhātha yadevādaḥ sṛṣṭau janmodyate tadenaṃ tṛtīyaṃ janayati patnīsaṃyājā eva tatra pratiṣṭhā
There are nine utterances of impulsion (or quickening),--there are these nine vital airs in man: he thereby causes him to be born a second time; and the (Adhvaryu's) call and (the Âgnîdhra's) response are the foundation. And when there, on the occasion of the throwing (of the grass-bunch into the fire), birth is spoken of, he thereby causes him to be born a third time: on this occasion the Patnîsamyâgas are the foundation.
