- c. 700 BCE, Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 6.1.2.4:
- सोऽकामयत । भूय एव स्यात्प्रजायेतेति स आदित्येन दिवं मिथुनं समभवत्तत आण्डं समवर्तत तदभ्यमृशद्रेतो बिभृहीति ततश्चन्द्रमा असृज्यतैष वै रेतोऽथ यदश्रु संक्षरितमासीत्तानि नक्षत्राण्यभवन्नथ यः कपाले रसो लिप्त आसीत्ता अवान्तरदिशोऽभवन्नथ यत्कपालमासीत्ता दिशोऽभवन्
- soʼkāmayata. bhūya eva syātprajāyeteti sa ādityena divaṃ mithunaṃ samabhavattata āṇḍaṃ samavartata tadabhyamṛśadreto bibhṛhīti tataścandramā asṛjyataiṣa vai retoʼtha yadaśru saṃkṣaritamāsīttāni nakṣatrāṇyabhavannatha yaḥ kapāle raso lipta āsīttā avāntaradiśoʼbhavannatha yatkapālamāsīttā diśoʼbhavan
- He (Prajāpati) desired, "May it multiply, may it reproduce itself!" By means of the Sun he entered into union with the Sky: thence an egg arose. He touched it, saying, "Bear thou seed!" From it the moon was created, for he (the moon) is seed. And the tear which formed itself became those stars. And the juice which was adhering to the shell became those intermediate quarters; and that which was the shell became those [chief] quarters (points of the compass).
