Mark, O blessed one, learned sacrificers duly casting seven libations in seven ways in the seven fires, viz., that which is smelt, that which is drunk, that which is smelt, that which is drunk, that which is seen, that which is touched, as also that which is heard, that which is thought of, and that which is understood, create them in their own wombs. Earth, Wind, Ether, Weather, and Light numbering as the fifth, Mind and Understanding, these seven are called wombs (of all things). All the attributes which form the sacrificial offerings, enter into the attribute that is born of the fire; and having lived within that dwelling become reborn in their respective wombs. There also, viz., in that which generates all beings, they remain absorbed during the period for which dissolution lasts.
हवींष्यग्निषु होतार: सप्तधा सप्त सप्तसु। सम्यक् प्रक्षिप्य विद्वांसो जनयन्ति स्वयोनिषु॥ पृथिवी वायुराकाशमापो ज्योतिश्च पञ्चमम्। मनो बुद्धिश्च सप्तैता योनिरित्येव शब्दिताः॥ हविर्भूता गुणाः सर्वे प्रविशन्त्यग्निजं गुणम्। अन्तर्वासमुषित्वा च जायन्ते स्वासु योनिषु॥ तत्रैव च निरुध्यन्ते प्रलये भूतभावने। ततः संजायते गन्धस्ततः संजायते रसः॥
