यजमानो
यथात्मानमृत्विजश्च
तथा
प्रजाः
।
यज्ञात्प्रजा
प्रभवति
नभसोऽम्भ
इवामलम्
॥
English Translation
If the sacrificer and the priest allow themselves to be guided by desire of fruit, their children take the stigma. If, however, they are not moved by the desire of fruit, their children become the same. From Sacrifices originate children like clear water from the sky.
