5.1.3.9
sarve śyāmāḥ | dve vai śyāmasya rūpe śuklaṃ caiva loma kṛṣṇaṃ ca dvandvaṃ vai mithunam prajananam prajananam prajāpatiḥ prājāpatyā ete tasmātsarve śyāmā bhavanti
They are all dark-grey. Now, the dark-grey has two forms, the light hair and the black; and a couple means a productive pair, and Pragâpati (the lord of generation) represents productiveness, and those (victims) belong to Pragâpati: therefore they are all dark-grey.
