अर्थMeaning
The seed departed, and having been absent for a year, it came back and said: 'How have you been able to live without me?' They replied: 'Like impotent people, not generating with seed, but breathing with the breath, seeing with the eye, hearing with the ear, knowing with the mind. Thus we have lived.' Then the seed entered in.

व्याख्याVyakhya
रेतस् निकल गया। एक वर्ष बाहर रहकर लौटा और बोला, 'मेरे बिना तुम कैसे जी सके?' उन्होंने कहा, 'जैसे नपुंसक, रेतस् से प्रजा न उत्पन्न करते हुए, प्राण से साँस लेते हुए, वाणी से बोलते हुए, चक्षु से देखते हुए, श्रोत्र से सुनते हुए, मन से जानते हुए — ऐसे हम जिए।' तब रेतस् भीतर प्रविष्ट हुआ।
