> By the Vaiṣṭambha, having propped off his hateful rival from these worlds, he sits at sacrificial session in his own domain, who knows thus.  
> This is indeed called the Naiṣṭambha;  
> it is designated as the Vaiṣṭambha.  
> This day is the belly.  
> This which is the Vaiṣṭambha is food.  
> In that the Vaiṣṭambha is performed here, they place food into the middle of their self.  
> Therefore a person is as if propped up by food.  
> "The swift one desiring to win..."  
> —thus the stotriya verses are recognized.  
> On them \[is\] the Raurava \[sāman\] with three forms and three flourishes (tripariṣṭobha), the form of the third day.  
> Agni is indeed Ruru; Rudra is Agni.  
> From whom cattle depart, it is Agni that causes cattle to depart from him.  
> Now, to whom cattle approach, it is Agni that causes cattle to approach him.  
> The performers of the sacrificial session (satriṇ) are of Agni's nature; their own deity secures cattle for them.  
> That becomes the Acchāvākasāman with the iḷā finale.  
> Iḷā is cattle.  
> They find firm standing in cattle.
