3.5.3.1
puruṣo vai yajñaḥ | puruṣastena yajño yadenam puruṣastanuta eṣa vai tāyamāno yāvāneva puruṣastāvānvidhīyate tasmātpuruṣo yajñaḥ
The sacrifice is a man; it is a man for the reason that a man spreads (prepares) it. In being spread it is made just as large as a man: this is why the sacrifice is a man.
