The loins — on the side of oneself, the delighting — on the side of beings, and Prajāpati — on the side of deities; the channel — their bond. Who is in the loins, in the delighting, in Prajāpati, in the channel, in the breath, in knowledge, in bliss, in the space of the heart, who moves within all this — He is this very Self. Him let one revere — the unageing, immortal, fearless, sorrowless, endless.

The fourteenth and last triad: the loins, the delighting, and Prajāpati.
Prajāpati is “the lord of progeny”, the one whose work is begetting. The correspondence is direct and needs no explanation.
Remarkable is something else: the object is named not “what is to be begotten” but ānandayitavyam — “that which is to give joy”. The Upaniṣad does not reduce union to childbearing and is not ashamed to call joy joy. The same turn stood in the lists of the Kauṣītaki: “bliss, delight, progeny” — three words together.
With this the list of fourteen is closed. The five senses of perception, the four inner instruments and the five instruments of action have been traversed; nothing in man is left without its object and its deity. And over all of them — one and the Same.
In this is the khaṇḍa's lesson worth keeping. The body is not divided into clean parts and unclean, high and low: the eye and the loins, speech and excretion are examined alike and with the same conclusion. There is a difference between the members; a difference in the one who moves in them — there is none.
The next mantra will sum up and name Him with names that have not yet sounded in this khaṇḍa.
