5.5.4.10

sa yannasto 'dravat | tataḥ siṃhaḥ samabhavadatha yatkarṇābhyāmadravattato kṛkaḥ samabhavadatha yadavācaḥ prāṇādadravattataḥ śārdūlajyeṣṭhāḥ śvāpadāḥ samabhavannatha yaduttarātprāṇādadravatsā parisrudatha trirniraṣṭhīvattataḥ kuvalaṃ karkandhu badaramiti samabhavatsa sarveṇaiva vyārdhyata sarvaṃ hi somaḥ

From what flowed from the nose a lion sprang; and from what flowed from the ears a wolf sprang; and from what flowed from the lower opening wild beasts sprang, with the tiger as their foremost; and what flowed from the upper opening that was the foaming spirit (parisrut). And thrice he spit out: thence were produced the (fruits called) 'kuvala, karkandhu, or badara.' He (Indra) became emptied out of everything, for Soma is everything.
