'This juice, O generous one, pressed...' is the Gāra [sāman].
The Asuras indeed scattered poisons against the gods.
Not knowing, they swallowed them, thinking them to be food.
They considered themselves poison-swallowers.
They desired: 'May we ward off these swallowed poisons.'
They saw this sāman.
They praised with it.
With it they warded off these swallowed poisons.
These very ones became mountains.
That they warded off the swallowed poisons, that is the swallowed-poison-warding quality of the Gāra.
He who considers himself a poison-swallower, having accepted [a gift] from one whose gift is not to be accepted, having eaten the food of one whose food is not to be eaten, should praise with this.
He wards off that swallowed poison.
Whatever evil has been done by him, that he wards off.
It is the Acchāvāka's sāman with the finale iḷā.
Iḷā is cattle.
Thus he becomes established in cattle.
1.223.p1
idaṃ hyanvojasā idghṛtaścunnidhanam
'This indeed, then, by strength...' having ghṛtaścut as finale.
1.223.p2
ghṛtaścutā ca vai madhuścutā ca devā yatra yatraiṣāṃ yajñasyopādasyattadāpyāyayanta
By Ghṛtaścut and Madhuścut, wherever their sacrifice dwindled, the gods replenished it.
