xi. 5- 11. The one this side, the other hence, from earth, the two fires come together between these two envelops; upon them are set (çri) the firm rays; these the Vedic student stands upon by fervor.

12. Roaring on, thundering, the ruddy white-goer has introduced (? anu-bhṛ) in the earth a great virile member; the Vedic student pours seed upon the surface (sā́nu), on the earth; by that live the four directions.

13. In the fire, in the sun, in the moon, in Mātariçvan, in the waters, the Vedic student puts fuel; their gleams (arcís) go about separately in the cloud; their sacrificial butter (ā́jya) is man, rain, waters.

14. The teacher [was] death, Varuṇa, Soma, the herbs, milk; the thunder-clouds were warriors; by them [was] this heaven (svàr) brought.

15. Varuṇa, having become teacher, makes his own (? amā́) the entire ghee; whatever he sought of Prajāpati, that the Vedic student furnished, a friend (mitrá) from his own self.
