5. And, again, why they take these (bricks) of Nirriti;—when the gods restored the relaxed Prajapati, they cast him as seed into the fire-pan, the womb; the fire-pan being indeed a womb. In the course of a year they prepared for him this foundation, even this (terrestrial) world; the Garhapatya (hearth) being this world: therein they generated him. And whatever evil there was in him, whatever mucus, whatever inner and outer membrane, that they removed from him by means of these (bricks); and inasmuch as thereby they removed his evil, his corruption, these are Nirriti’s (bricks).
