If he were to utter the sound hiṃ without uttering om, food would go away from him. / If he were to utter a sāman first, power would go to the nobility, / for the sāman is nobility. / If he were to utter a verse first, power would go to the people, / for a verse is the people. / When he utters a sacrificial formula first—the sacrificial formula is brahman—he thereby brings about spiritual luster. / 'Earth, atmosphere, heaven! / I will make sweetness; / I will produce sweetness; / sweetness there shall be; / welfare upon welfare; / food and sap!' / As for 'Earth, atmosphere, heaven!', this is the brahman, this is the sacrificial formula. / As for 'I will make sweetness', progeny is sweetness; he thereby makes them. / As for 'I will produce sweetness', he thereby generates them. / As for 'sweetness there shall be', he thereby leads them to prosperity. / As for 'welfare upon welfare', whatever is a man's possession, that is welfare: houses are welfare, children are welfare, cattle are welfare; that he thereby secures. / As for 'food and sap', rain is food; what thrives after rain, that is sap; that he thereby secures.

1.88.p1

prajāpatiṃ kalpayitvodgāyet

Having arranged Prajāpati, he should sing.

1.88.p2

yo ha vai prajāpatiṃ kalpayitvodgāyati kalpate'smai diśaḥ pradiśa ādiśo

He who sings having arranged Prajāpati, for him [the worlds] are arranged: 'The quarters, the intermediate quarters, the principal quarters,

1.88.p3

vidiśa uddiśo diśa iti

the divergent quarters, the upper quarters, the quarters.'

1.88.p4

diśo vai prajāpatiḥ

The quarters are Prajāpati.

1.88.p5

prajāpatimeva tatkalpayitvodgāyati

He thus sings having arranged Prajāpati.

1.88.p6

kalpate'smai ya evaṃ veda

Things are arranged for him who knows thus.

1.88.p7

kapivano ha smāha bhauvāyanaḥ kiṃ te yajñaṃ gacchanti yadeva somasyābhakṣayitvā

Kapivana Bhauvāyana used to say: 'Do they go to the sacrifice who, without having consumed the soma,

1.88.p8

pra vā sarpanti pra vā dhāvayantīti

creep forth or make [horses] run?'

1.88.p9

bahiṣpavamānamupasanneṣu brūyādyaṃ brahmāṇaṃ śucimiva manyetāharahastamiti

When they have approached for the Bahiṣpavamāna, one should say day after day to whichever Brahmin one considers to be pure:

1.88.p10

tena samupahūyāthānumantrayeta

Having shared the invitation with him, he should then pronounce over [it]:

1.88.p11

yo devānāmiha somapītho'sminyajñe barhiṣi vedyām

“Whatever drinking of Soma belongs to the gods here, at this sacrifice, on the sacrificial grass, on the altar,

1.88.p12

tasyedaṃ bhakṣayāmasi

of that we consume this.”

1.88.p13

iti

1.88.p14

yadi ca ha pradhāvayati yadi ca nātha hāsya bhakṣita eva devassomo bhavati

Whether he runs forward or whether he does not, then divine Soma is indeed consumed for him.

1.88.p15

etadāyatanā vā āraṇyāḥ paśavaḥ

These wild cattle have this [realm] as their domain.

1.88.p16

yadbahiṣpavamānamaraṇye stuvanti tasmādāraṇyāḥ paśavo'raṇyaṃ sacante

Because they chant the Bahiṣpavamāna in the wilderness, therefore wild cattle frequent the wilderness.

1.88.p17

parācīṣu stuvanti

They chant on [verses] turned away.

1.88.p18

tasmādāraṇyāḥ paśavo'raṇyādevāraṇyamabhiprerate

Therefore wild cattle move forward from wilderness to wilderness.

1.88.p19

ekarūpāsu stuvanti

They chant on [verses] of uniform form.
