He did not give the mothers to be seen; the warriors did not give daughters, like winds of the plains. He first knew joyous dance, which the excellent doer chose for glorious praise.

He repeatedly beholding his parents (heaven and earth) proceeds with a loud noise, like cows (looking at their calves and lowing), and with a roar (like the troop) of Maruts; knowing that water to be the best which is good for all men, the intelligent (pavamāna) chose man to be the offerer of his praise.

Beholding, as it were, Two Mother Cows, the Steer goes roaring on his way even as the Maruts roar. Knowing Eternal Law, the earliest light of heaven, he, passing wise, was chosen out to tell it forth.
