27. Whenever he laid down an enclosing-stone, he laid down a night, and along with that fifteen muhurtas, and along with the muhurtas fifteen eighties (of syllables of the sacred texts). And whenever he laid down a brick with a formula (yajushmati), he laid down a day, and along with that fifteen muhurtas, and along with the muhurtas fifteen eighties (of syllables). In this manner he put this threefold lore into his own self, and made it his own; and in this very (performance) he became the body of all existing things, (a body) composed of the metres, stomas, vital airs, and deities; and having become composed of all that, he ascended upwards; and he who thus ascended is that moon yonder.
