The waters were indeed the wives of the gods.
They desired union.
They approached Mitra and Varuṇa.
They conceived an embryo.
From that the Revatī cattle were created.
He should perform [it] on the Revatī [verses] for one who desires cattle.
He indeed becomes rich in cattle.
However, he is liable to become childless,
for he departs from the verses containing 'ka', which belong to Prajāpati.
Now, Bharadvāja, desiring cattle, saw this Pṛśni-stotra: 'With what help will the wonderful one be present for us?',
'The Revatīs have not rejoiced together', 'Directly to us of friends'.
In that he introduces one Revatī in the middle, thereby he does not depart from cattle;
and in that two verses containing 'ka' belonging to Prajāpati are on both sides, thereby he does not depart from offspring.
It has a final tone.
The tone is indeed breath.
He thus places breaths in cattle.
However, by the tone he is liable to sing the sacrificer's cattle away into sound; if he should make it without a finale,
he would shut off the breaths.
