11. Now the embryo which was inside was created as the foremost (agri): inasmuch as it was created foremost (agram) of this All, therefore (it is called) Agri: Agri, indeed, is he whom they mystically call Agni; for the gods love the mystic. And the tear (ashru, n.) which had formed itself became the 'ashru' (m.): “ashru” indeed is what they mystically call 'ashva' (horse), for the gods love the mystic. And that which, as it were, cried (ras), became the ass (rasabha). And the juice which was adhering to the shell (of the egg) became the he-goat (aja). And that which was the shell became the earth.
