2.5.1.16

tasyām mithunamasti | yoṣā payasyā reto vājinaṃ tasmānmithunādviśvamasammitamanu prājāyata tadyadetasmānmithunādviśvamasammitamanu prājāyata tasmādvaiśvadevī bhavati

Therein a union takes place: the curdled milk (payasyâ, fem.) is female, and the whey is seed. From that union the infinite All was gradually generated; and since the infinite All was gradually generated from that union, therefore it (the offering of curds) belongs to the All-gods.

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