Preview of English translation:
7. And again why he scatters saline soil. Prajapati created creatures; he created them with different kinds of amnions: they did not agree together. He desired, “May they agree together!” He made them to be of the same (kind of) amnion: hence even to this day, being of equal amnions, they agree together. And he who offers, offers thinking, “May I be (born) with the same (kind of) amnion as the gods!” and when he scatters saline salt (in the hearth-site) he thereby becomes of equal amnion with the gods.
