12. He proceeds with these two alternately, even as one would accomplish a long way by (repeatedly) unyoking. Both before and after (the Diksha), he combines both, the Vishnu-strides and the Vatsapra; for the Vishnu-strides are the day, and the Vatsapra the night; and Prajapati, both when he was about to generate and when he had generated this universe, enclosed it on both sides by day and night: in like manner the Sacrificer now, both when he is about to generate and when he has generated this universe, encloses it on both sides by day and night.
