11. Then (earth) torn up by a boar (he takes), with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XXXVII, 5), “Only thus large was she in the beginning,”—for, indeed, only so large was this earth in the beginning, of the size of a span. A boar, called Emusha, raised her up, and he was her lord Prajapati: with that mate, his heart’s delight, he thus supplies and completes him;—“may I this day compass for you Makha’s head on the Earth’s place of divine worship: for Makha thee! for Makha’s head thee!” the import of this is the same as before.
