vii. 34 (xxxv. 8). ‘When they put the goblets in place, then he should put in place the sacrificer’s goblet. When they move them forward, he should move it forward after them. Then he should take it and partake of it.

‘O god Soma, of thee that art drunk by Narāçaṅsa, that findest the
mind, that art partaken of by the fathers, the helpers, I partake’,

is the partaking connected with Narāçaṅsa at the morning pressing; at the midday (pressing) ‘the great’ is used; at the third pressing ‘the sages’ is used (as epithet of the fathers). The fathers are helpers at the morning pressing, the great at the midday, and the sages at the third pressing; verily thus he makes the fathers immortal and sharers of the pressings. ‘Every one is immortal’, Priyavrata Somāpa used to say, ‘who is a sharer in the pressings.’ Immortal become his fathers and sharers in the pressings, dread his sway becomes and unassailable, who as a Kṣatriya when sacrificing partakes thus of this food. The touching of himself is the same and the same the filling up of the goblet. They should proceed at the morning pressing in the manner of the morning pressing, in that of the midday (pressing) at the midday, and in that of the third pressing at the third pressing.’ This food Rāma Mārgaveya proclaimed to Viçvantara Sauṣadmana; when it had been proclaimed he said ‘A thousand we grant to you, O Brahman; my sacrifice will be performed by the Çyāparṇas’. This also Tura Kāvaṣeya proclaimed to Janamejaya Pārikṣita; this Parvata and Nārada proclaimed to Somaka Sāhadevya, to Sahadeva Sārñjaya, Babhru Daivāvṛdha, Bhīma of Vidarbha, Nagnajit of Gandhāra; this Agni proclaimed to Sanaçruta Ariṃdama and to Kratuvid Jānaki; this Vasiṣṭha proclaimed to Sudās Paijavana. All of them attained greatness having partaken of this food. All of them were great kings; like Āditya, established in prosperity, they gave heat, obtaining tribute from all the quarters. Like Āditya, established in prosperity, he gives heat, from all the quarters he obtains tribute, dread his sway and unassailable, who as a Kṣatriya when sacrificing partakes thus of this food.
