Preview of English translation:

8. Sevenfold, indeed, Prajapati was created in the beginning. He saw this body composed of a hundred and one parts—fifty bricks in the Pranabhrits, and fifty sacrificial formulas, that makes a hundred, and the 'settling' and sudadohas-formula are the two one hundred and first—these two are one and the same, for when he has 'settled' (a brick), he pronounces the sudadohas-formula over it: by means of this one hundred and one-fold body he gained that conquest and obtained that success; and in like manner does the Sacrificer, by means of this one hundred and one-fold body, gain that conquest and obtain that success. And thus, indeed, the sevenfold (altar) passes into the one hundred and one-fold: that which is a hundred and one-fold is sevenfold, and that which is sevenfold is a hundred and one-fold. So much as to the forms (of altars).
