Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Let him meditate on speech as a cow. Her four udders are the words Svaha, Vasha/, Hanta, and Svadhi *. The gods live on two of her udders, the Svihi and the Vasha/, men on the Hanta, the fathers on the Svadha. The bull of that cow is breath (pra/za), the calf the mind.
