> To him, who had conquered and was seated as lord of tens, they brought out special portions saying, 'To the lord of tens! To the lord of tens!'  
> That is the essence of the Dāśaspatya's name.  
> He who knows thus receives a special portion; he becomes worthy of a special portion.  
> One who desires food should use the Viśoviśīya.  
> Agni desired: 'May I be the food-eating, supreme overlord of clan after clan!'  
> He saw this sāman.  
> With it he praised.  
> Then indeed he became the food-eating, supreme overlord of clan after clan.  
> Then clan after clan traded through him.  
> Since clan after clan trade through him, that is the essence of the Viśoviśīya's name.  
> He is indeed the food-eating, supreme overlord of clan after clan.  
> He who knows thus becomes the food-eating, supreme overlord of clan after clan.  
> One who desires cattle should use the Vāravantīya.  
> Prajāpati created cattle.  
> Having been created, they departed from him.  
> He checked them with the Vāravantīya alone.  
> Because he checked \[them\], that is the essence of the Vāravantīya's name.  
> Therefore, the Vāravantīya is an Agniṣṭoma-sāman for the securing of cattle, for the non-departure of cattle.
