atha yad audumbarāṇy.
ūrjo vā eṣo 'nnādyād vanaspatir ajāyata yad udumbaro,
bhaujyaṃ vā etad vanaspatīnām;
ūrjam evāsmiṃs tad annādyaṃ ca bhaujyaṃ ca vanaspatīnāṃ kṣatre dadhāty
atha yad āśvatthāni.
tejaso vā eṣa vanaspatir ajāyata yad aśvatthaḥ,
sāmrājyaṃ vā etad vanaspatīnām;
teja evāsmiṃs tat sāmrājyaṃ ca vanaspatīnāṃ kṣatre dadhāty
atha yat plākṣāṇi.
yaśaso vā eṣa vanaspatir ajāyata yat plakṣaḥ,
svārājyaṃ ca ha vā etad vairājyaṃ ca vanaspatīnāṃ;
yaśa evāsmiṃs tat svārājyavairājye ca vanaspatīnāṃ kṣatre dadhāty
etāny asya purastād upakḷptāni bhavanty, atha somaṃ rājānaṃ krīnanti.
te rājña evāvṛtopavasathāt prativeśaiś caranty,
athaupavasathyam ahar etāny adhvaryuḥ purastād upakalpayetādhiṣavaṇaṃ
carmādhiṣavaṇe phalake droṇakalaśaṃ daśāpavitram adrīn pūtabhṛtaṃ
cādhavanīyaṃ ca sthālīm udañcanaṃ camasaṃ ca.
tad yad etad rājanam prātar abhiṣuṇvanti, tad enāni dvedhā vigṛhṇīyād:
abhy anyāni sunuyān, mādhyaṃdināyānyāni pariśiṃṣyāt

vii. 32 (xxxv. 6). 'Now as to the (fruits) of Udumbara. The Udumbara tree was born from strength and proper food; this is the pre-eminence of the trees; verily thus he places in the lordly power strength, proper food, and the pre-eminence of the trees. Now as to the (fruits) of Açvattha. The Açvattha tree was born from brilliance; this is the overlordship of the trees; verily thus he places in the lordly power the brilliance and the overlordship of the trees. Now as to the (fruits) of Plakṣa. The Plakṣa tree was born of might; it is the self rule and the control of the trees; verily thus he places in the lordly power the self rule and the control of the trees. These are first of all prepared and then they buy Soma, the king. They proceed with the rites according to the manner of the (sacrifice of Soma) the king up to the fast day; then comes the fast day. These things the Adhvaryu should make ready in advance; the skin for pressing, the two pressing boards, the wooden tub, the filter cloth, the pressing stones, the vessel for the pure Soma, the stirring vessel, the vessel, the drawing cup, and the goblet. When they press the king in the morning,

then he should divide these (fruits) in two; some he should press, the rest leave over for the midday pressing.’
