9. Having then laid down the Vikarni and Svayamatrinna, he scatters chips of gold, and places the fire thereon: Prajapati then finally made a golden form for his body; and inasmuch as (he did so) finally, this was the final form of his body; whence people speak of 'the golden Prajapati.' And in like manner does the Sacrificer now finally make a golden form for his body; and inasmuch as (he does so) finally, this is the final form of his body; and hence, whether they know this or not, people say that the Agnicit (he who has built an altar) is born in yonder world as one made of gold.
