> He desired: 'Having arisen, may I go forth; may I find a path, a protector.'  
> He saw this sāman.  
> With it, he praised.  
> He went to the finale: 'Together with the drops' (saṃ indubhiḥ).  
> Parjanya floated him upward with rain.  
> For he made that chariot wheel float up by which he was covered.  
> That is the sāman that finds a path and finds a protector.  
> He indeed found a path, that protector.  
> He who knows thus finds a path.  
> He followed by footstep.  
> Seeing him coming, the one became a bear and the other a monkey, and they fled into the forest.  
> And that is the sāman that slays rivals.  
> Indeed, those two who became a bear and a monkey entered into rivalry with him.  
> Moreover, Parjanya becomes rainy for him.  
> And that is a sāman conferring cattle.  
> He indeed took those cattle solely for himself.  
> He secures cattle; he becomes rich in cattle, who knows thus.  
> And because Trita Āptya saw it, therefore it is called the Traita.
