c2.s1.111

ŚB. IV. 6. 7. 9 *vy èvá dravata*), (she) saying: 'He hath come into being from me' (*mad adhy abhūt*),²⁷—whence the expression '"Honey-son"' (*madhu-putra*). In the preceding version of JUB. I. 50. 1, 2, the "Two Worlds" are explicitly Sky and Earth, and it is the Gods who call upon them to unite (*sametam*, cf. RV. X. 24. 5 abruvan devāḥ púnar á vahatād íti), and the reluctance of the Sky is his "horror" of her (*so 'sāv asyā abibhatsata*), and it is only after elaborate purifications that they unite (*sametya*, converse of *viyantā*, etc., elsewhere), and engender the Solar Chant.
