yvk.2.6	u O Prajapati.
yvk.3.1	Prajapati desired, May I create offspring.

yvk.3.3	Prajapati saw the Viraj; by it he created the past and the future; he concealed it from the Rsis; by penance Jamadagni beheld it, and by it he created various delights; that is why the various (cups) have their name.
yvk.3.3	The theologians say, For what reason do plants spring from the waters, the food of man is plants [2], and offspring are born through Prajapati? Through the Paras he should reply.
yvk.3.3	In that he draws (saying), For the waters thee, for the plants I take therefore from the waters plants spring; in that he draws (saying), For the plants thee, for offspring I take therefore the food of man is the plants; in that he draws (saying), For offspring thee, for Prajapati I take therefore through Prajapati offspring are born.

yvk.3.4	Prajapati saw this (offering) to Agni on eight potsherds, he offered it, and thereby he redeemed this (victim) from Agni.
yvk.3.4	Because [1] Vayu blew (them apart), therefore is it connected with Vayu; because these two conceived, therefore is it connected with sky and earth; because Soma generated, and Agni swallowed, there fore is it connected with Agni and Soma; because when the two parted speech was uttered, therefore is it connected with Sarasvati; because Prajapati redeemed it from Agni, therefore is it connected with Prajapati; the barren goat is connected with all the gods.

yvk.3.4	In that the All gods brought together (the materials), the Abhyatanas are connected with the All gods; in that Prajapati bestowed the victories Jayas(), therefore the Jayas are connected with Prajapati [1]; in that they won the kingdom by the Rastrabhrts, that is why the Rastrabhrts (supporters of the kingdom) have their name.
yvk.3.4	e Prajapati, all creator, the mind [1], is the Gandharva; his Apsarases are the Rc and Saman verses, (called) hymns, &c.
