Chapter IX<br />

Birth and Death<br />

"Thus in the fifth libation water comes to be called<br />

man. <strong>The</strong> foetus enclosed in the membrane, having lain<br />

inside for ten or nine months, or more or less, is born.<br />

2<br />

"Having been born, he lives whatever the length of his<br />

life may be. When he is dead, they carry him to the fire<br />

of the funeral pyre whence he came, whence he arose."<br />
