One who desires cattle should use the Śyaita.
Prajāpati created cattle.
Having been created, they departed from him.
He desired: 'May cattle not depart from me; may they turn towards me.'
He saw this sāman.
With it he praised.
Its fināle occurred just as 'vasu'.
Cattle, indeed, are wealth (vasu).
Then cattle turned towards him;
thence they did not depart from him.
He said: 'I have made these cattle quiet (śyetī).'
That is the Śyaita-character of the Śyaita.
This is a sāman yielding cattle.
Cattle made quiet wait upon him, cattle turn towards him,
cattle do not depart from him who knows thus.
It has a two-syllable fināle for support.
Two-footed is the sacrificer, for support.
