> Regarding this they say: 'One should approach \[the finale\] without panting.  
> For when one pants, then one dies.  
> Therefore one should approach \[it\] without panting.'  
> The gods, desiring the heavenly world, performed ascetic heat.  
> They saw this sāman.  
> With it they chanted praise.  
> Becoming a seat, it conveyed them to the heavenly world.  
> They said: 'Truly, this seat has come!'  
> Because they said: 'Truly, this seat has come!' (iti vā etaḥ sādaḥ), that is the nature of the Itīṣādīya.  
> And when they had reached the heavenly world, they said: 'Ah, we sit as if having arrived in the heavenly world!'  
> That very fact is the nature of the Ātīṣādīya.  
> This sāman brings about heaven.  
> He who knows this attains the heavenly world.  
> Then there are these \[verses\]:  
> 'Advancing ahead to your food...'  
> which are Virāj verses \[in form of\] Anuṣṭubhs on the Vairāja day, to secure Virāj and food.  
> And just as one might attach two newer wheels, even so they bring around this Anuṣṭubh at the beginning of each three-day period to attain the heavenly world.
