10. Prajapati saw the first layer: Prajapati assuredly is its (spiritual) ancestry. The gods saw the second layer: the gods assuredly are its ancestry. Indra and Agni, and Vishvakarman saw the third layer: they assuredly are its ancestry. The Rishis saw the fourth layer: the Rishis assuredly are its ancestry. Parameshthin saw the fifth layer: Parameshthin assuredly is its ancestry. And, verily, whosoever so knows that (spiritual) ancestry of the structures (layers of the fire-altar), his structures are indeed possessed of an ancestry, possessed of relations (or, of mystic significance, bandhu).
