11. As to this they say, “If the enclosing-stones are the womb, and the sand is seed, and the sand is strown on the Garhapatya before (the setting up of) the enclosing-stones, how, then, is that seed of his not shed aside, (but) is received (by the womb)?” Well, the saline soil is the amnion, and inasmuch as he strews first the saline soil, that seed of his is not shed aside, but is received by that amnion. He now addresses the enclosing-stones on the Ahavaniya: the meaning of this has been explained. He then scatters sand: sand being seed, that seed of his is not shed aside, but is received also by that womb.
