पिता पाङ्क्तेन कर्मणा सप्तान्नानि सृष्ट्वा त्रीण्यन्नान्यात्मार्थमकरोदित्युक्तम् ; तान्येतानि पाङ्क्तकर्मफलभूतानि व्याख्यातानि ; तत्र कथं पुनः पाङ्क्तस्य कर्मणः फलमेतानीति उच्यते— यस्मात्तेष्वपि त्रिष्वन्नेषु पाङ्क्तता अवगम्यते, वित्तकर्मणोरपि तत्र संभवात् ; तत्र पृथिव्यग्नी माता, दिवादित्यौ पिता, योऽयमनयोरन्तरा प्राणः स प्रजेति व्याख्यातम् ।तत्र वित्तकर्मणी संभावयितव्ये इत्यारम्भः—
In plain words
It has already been stated that the Creator, having formed seven kinds of food through a fivefold ritual, set aside three for his own personal use. These very three have been explained as the fruits of that fivefold action. Now, an objection is raised: how can these three be considered the result of a fivefold process? The answer is given that a fivefold structure is indeed recognizable even within those three foods, because wealth and ritual action are both possible there. Earth and fire constitute the mother, day and sun constitute the father, and the vital breath residing between them is the progeny—as has already been taught. To show that wealth and ritual action must be recognized here as well, the text now begins its elaboration.
Close to the Sanskrit
The father, having created seven foods by fivefold action, made three foods for his own sake, it has been said; those very ones, functioning as the fruits of fivefold action, have been explained. There, how again can these be the fruit of fivefold action, it is asked—because fivefoldness is perceived even in those three foods, due to the possibility of wealth and action there too. There, earth and fire are the mother, day and sun are the father, and this breath situated between these two is progeny, it has been explained. There, wealth and action are to be conceived, hence the commencement.
