“High on behalf of your pressed drink…” — [with this verse] there are Gāyatrī [verses] containing the word “drink” for the midday purifying [laud]; drink is food, [and this is] for the securing of food. “Dwelling in heaven, giving to the earth” — [these verses] belong to Heaven and Earth. Unestablished, as it were, is this day which is Vairūpa. Now, since these verses belong to Heaven and Earth, they establish the day by means of them. “He for us to Indra, worthy of worship, to Varuṇa, to the Maruts” — [these verses] contain [the name of] the Maruts. Accompaniment by the Maruts is indeed the characteristic of the midday; they do not deviate from that characteristic of the midday. “Through these all, belonging to the noble” — [these verses] contain [the word] “all”; for this day belongs to the All-Gods.
