The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

Chapter IV
Conception and Birth as Religious Rites
The earth is verily the essence of all these beings,
water is the essence of the earth, herbs of water,
flowers of herbs, fruits of flowers, man of fruits and
semen is the essence of man.
2
Prajapati said to Himself: "Well, let Me make a firm
basis for it (semen)." So He created woman. Having
created her, He placed her below and worshipped her.
Therefore one should worship a woman, placing her
below. He (Prajapati) extended His organ that projects
and with it impregnated her.
3
Her lap is the sacrificial altar, her hair the sacrificial
grass, her skin within the organ the lighted fire; the two
labia of the vulva are the two stones of the soma-press.
He who, knowing this, practises sexual intercourse wins
as great a world as is won through the Vijapeya
sacrifice; he acquires for himself the fruit of the good
deeds of the woman. But he who, without knowing this,
practises sexual intercourse turns over to the woman his
own good deeds.
