Preview of English translation:
3. “The Rishi Jamadagni,”—the Rishi Jamadagni, doubtless, is the eye: inasmuch as thereby the world of the living (jagat) sees and thinks, therefore the Rishi Jamadagni is the eye.—“By thee, taken by Prajapati,”—that is, “by thee, created by Prajapati,”—“I take the eye for my descendants,” therewith he introduced the eye from behind. Separately he lays down (these ten bricks): what separate desires there are in the eye those he thereby lays into it. Only once he settles them: he thereby makes this eye one; but were he to settle them each separately, he assuredly would cut the eye asunder. This is a threefold brick: the meaning of this has been explained.
