3.1

grahokthaṃ vā etad yat praügaṃ.
nava prātar grahā gṛhyante, navabhir bahiṣpavamāne stuvate.
stute stome daśamaṃ gṛhṇāti, hiṃkāra itarāsāṃ daśamaḥ. so sā sammā
vāyavyaṃ śaṃsati, tena vāyavya ukthavān
aindravāyavaṃ śaṃsati, tenaindravāyava ukthavān
maitrāvaruṇaṃ śaṃsati, tena maitrāvaruṇa ukthavān
āśvinaṃ śaṃsati, tenāśvina ukthavān
aindraṃ śaṃsāti, tena śukrāmanthinā ukthavantau
vaiśvadevaṃ śaṃsati, tenāgrayaṇa ukthavān
sārasvataṃ śaṃsati
na sārasvato graho 'sti
vāk tu Sarasvatī. ye tu keca vācā grahā gṛhyante, te 'sya sarve śastokthā
ukthino bhavanti ya evaṃ veda

iii. 1 (xi. 1). The Praüga is a litany of the cups; nine cups are drawn in the morning; with nine (verses) do they sing in the Bahiṣpavamāna (Stotra); when the Stoma has been performed, he draws the tenth; the sound *hiṅ* of the other (verses) is the tenth; thus is there equality. (A triplet ) to Vāyu he recites; thereby has the Vāyu (cup) its litany. (A triplet ) to Indra and Vāyu he recites; thereby has (the cup) for Indra and Vāyu its litany. (A triplet ) for Mitra and Varuṇa he recites; thereby has (the cup) for Mitra and Varuṇa its litany. (A triplet ) for the Açvins he recites; thereby has (the cup) for the Açvins its litany. (A triplet ) for Indra he recites; thereby have (the cups) Çukra and Manthin litanies. (A triplet ) for the All-gods he recites; thereby has Āgrayaṇa cup its litany. (A triplet ) for Sarasvatī he recites; there is no cup for Sarasvatī, but Sarasvatī is speech; whatever cups are drawn with speech, they have all litanies recited for him, they become possessed of litanies for him, who knows thus.
