He spake unto the vital airs, 'Together with you, I will here bring forth creatures!'--'Wherewith shall we sing praises?'--'With me and with yourselves!'--'So be it!' So they sang praises both with the vital airs and with Pragâpati; and whatsoever the gods do, that they do with praise, that--praise being sacrifice--they do with sacrifice. Hence (the words) 'they sang praises' recur with all (these bricks).
