Then he approaches her: "I am ama, you are sā; you are sā, I am ama. I am the sāman, you are the ṛc; I am the sky, you are the earth. Come — let us unite, let us lay the seed together: may we obtain a son, a man!"

The mantra of union is among the most beautiful marriage words of mankind: amo 'ham asmi sā tvam — "I am ama, you are sā": the very syllables of which sāman is composed (sa + ama — 1.3.22): husband and wife confess themselves the two halves of the sacred chant! And further: "I am the sāman, you are the ṛc; I am the sky, you are the earth" — melody and word, vault and soil: the union of the couple repeats all the great couples of the universe.
Intimacy begun with such a confession is already a song: two enter it as notes enter a chant, and a child is asked for as the fruit of a cosmic harmony: "let us lay the seed together — may we obtain a son". The whole science of the section is in this mantra: bodies unite after meanings do, and what the two have called themselves decides who the third will be that comes to them.
