3.1.p2

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.
