6. And, again, as to how the one hundred and one-fold passes into the sevenfold one:—yonder sun, composed of a hundred and one parts, is established in the seven-syllabled Brahman, for the Brahman (holy writ or prayer) indeed consists of seven syllables,—“rik” is one syllable, “yajuh” two, and 'sama' two; and what other Brahman there is that is just the 'brahman' of two syllables—this seven-syllabled Brahman is the universe: therein that (sun) is established; and in like manner does the Sacrificer now establish himself in the seven-syllabled Brahman by constructing for himself a body one hundred and one-fold.
