24. And, again, why he lays down two seed-shedders; the seed-shedders are the testicles, for only he who has testicles sheds seed. “The wide-ruling one contained the light;—the self-ruling one contained the light,” he says; for the wide-ruling and the self-ruling ones are the testicles: they contain that light, the seed, Prajapati. He lays them down separately, for separate are these testicles. He 'settles' them once: he thereby makes them one and the same, whence they have a common connecting-part. He lays them down close to the dviyajus (brick): the dviyajus being the Sacrificer, he thus puts the testicles together with the Sacrificer.
