3.2.1.6
te vāmārabha iti | garbho vā eṣa bhavati yo dīkṣate sa candāṃsi praviśati tasmānnvaknāṅguliriva bhavati nyaknāṅgulaya iva hi garbhāḥ
'I touch you.' Now, he who is consecrated becomes an embryo, and enters into the metres: hence he has his hands closed, since embryos have their hands closed.
