Sakalya said: `Which is thy deity in the Western quarter?' Yagnavalkya said: `Varuna.' Sakalya said: `In what does that Varuna abide?' Yagnavalkya said: `In the water.' Sakalya said: `In what does the water abide?' Yagnavalkya said: `In the seed.' Sakalya said: `And in what does the seed abide?' Yagnavalkya said: `In the heart. And therefore also they say of a son who is like his father, that he seems as if slipt from his heart, or made from his heart; for the seed abides in the heart.' Sakalya said: `So it is indeed, O Yagnavalkya.'
