tadyadupayāmena grahā gṛhyante | anayaiva tadgṛhyante 'tha yadyonau sādayatīyaṃ vā asya sarvasya yonirasyai vā imāḥ prajāḥ prajātāḥ
The reason, then, why the grahas are drawn with the Upayâma, is that they are drawn by means of this (earth); and why he deposits them in the womb, is that this earth is the womb of everything, that it is from her that these creatures have sprung.
