2.4.4.19
tadvā etāṃ rātrim | mitro varuṇe retaḥ siñcati tadetena retasā prajāyate yadāpūryate tadyadeṣātra maitrāvaruṇī payasyāvakLptatamā bhavati
In that same night Mitra implants seed in Varuna, and when it (the moon) wanes, then it is produced from that seed. Now as to why that oblation of curds (payasyâ) to Mitra and Varuna is here exactly analogous (to the Sânnâyya offered at new moon).
