9. “The Rishi Bharadvaja,”—the Rishi Bharadvaja, doubtless, is the mind;—“vaja” means 'food,' and he who possesses a mind, possesses (bharati) food, “vaja;” therefore the Rishi Bharadvaja is the mind.—“By thee, taken by Prajapati,”—that is, “by thee, created by Prajapati;”—“I take the mind for my descendants!”—therewith he introduced the mind from the right side. Separately he lays down (these ten bricks): what separate desires there are in the mind, those he thereby lays into it. Only once he settles them: he thereby makes it one mind; but were he to settle them each separately, he assuredly would cut asunder the mind. This brick is threefold: the meaning of this has been explained.
