Aitareya 2.1.1
पुरुषे ह वा अयमादितो गर्भो भवति यदेतद्रेतः । तदेतत्सर्वेभ्योऽङ्गेभ्यस्तेजः सम्भूतमात्मन्येवऽऽत्मानं बिभर्ति तद्यदा स्त्रियां सिञ्चत्यथैनज्जनयति तदस्य प्रथमं जन्म ॥ २.१.१ ॥
In a man, this indeed becomes an embryo from the beginning: this is the seed. This vigour, gathered from all the limbs, bears the self in the self itself; then when he pours it into a woman, he begets it — this is his first birth.
Aitareya 2.1.2
तत्स्त्रिया आत्मभूयं गच्छति यथा स्वमङ्गं तथा । तस्मादेनां न हिनस्ति । साऽस्यैतमात्मानमत्र गतं भावयति ॥ २.१.२ ॥
Therefore she becomes, like one's own limb, the very self of the husband. Therefore he does not harm her. She nourishes this self of his which has come here.
Aitareya 2.1.3
सा भावयित्री भावयितव्या भवति । तं स्त्री गर्भ बिभर्ति । सोऽग्र एव कुमारं जन्मनोऽग्रेऽधिभावयति । स यत्कुमारं जन्मनोऽग्रेऽधिभावयत्यात्मानमेव तद्भावयत्येषां लोकानां सन्तत्या । एवं सन्तता हीमे लोकास्तदस्य द्वितीयं जन्म ॥ २.१.३ ॥
She is the one who nourishes and she becomes the one who is nourished. That woman bears the embryo. Before birth, he nourishes the child. When, after birth, he nourishes the child, he is in truth nourishing his own ātman, through the continuation of these worlds. Thus these worlds continue unbroken; this is his second birth.
Aitareya 2.1.4
सोऽस्यायमात्मा पुण्येभ्यः कर्मभ्यः प्रतिधीयते । अथास्यायामितर आत्मा कृतकृत्यो वयोगतः प्रैति । स इतः प्रयन्नेव पुनर्जायते तदस्य तृतीयं जन्म ॥ २.१.४ ॥
This ātman of his is placed in meritorious deeds. Then his other ātman, having done what was to be done and having reached old age, departs. Departing from here, he is born again at once; this is his third birth.
Aitareya 2.1.5
तदुक्तमृषिणा गर्भे नु सन्नन्वेषामवेदमहं देवानां जनिमानि विश्वा शतं मा पुर आयसीररक्षन्नधः श्येनो जवसा निरदीयमिति । गर्भ एवैतच्छयानो वामदेव एवमुवाच ॥ २.१.५ ॥
The seer spoke this: 'While still in the womb I came to know all the births of these gods; a hundred iron fortresses held me, and then, swift as a falcon, I flew out from below.' Thus Vāmadeva, lying in the womb, spoke.
Aitareya 2.1.6
स एवं विद्वानस्माच्छरीरभेदादूर्ध्व उत्क्रम्यामुष्मिन् स्वर्गे लोके सर्वान् कामानाप्त्वाऽमृतः समभवत् समभवत् ॥ २.१.६ ॥
Knowing thus, he rises upward when this body breaks apart, and in that heavenly world, having obtained all desires, he became immortal, indeed became immortal.
