2. He takes him in (by muttering, Vajasaneyi Samhita X III, 1), “Within me I first take Agni,” he thereby first takes Agni into his own self;—“for increase of wealth, for healthy progeny, for vigorous manhood!” and hereby he takes all blessings to himself;—“and may the deities stand by me!” and hereby he takes all the gods to himself; and thus he takes into his own self all that he is about to generate from his own self. Having taken Agni into his own self whilst standing, he builds him up sitting;—Agni is an animal: hence the animal, having received the foetus standing, gives birth after lying down.
