'And we to you, O unprecedented one...'
—for they have now reached, as it were, an unprecedented body.
On these [verses is chanted] the Saubhara, the brilliance of the Bṛhat.
For the Vairāja sacrifice tends to slacken, as it were;
they shore it up with the Saubhara, with the brilliance of the Bṛhat.
It has ū-kāra as its finale.
This ū-kāra, this ī-kāra, is the direct form of the Bṛhat.
Thereby it is richly endowed with characteristic form.
'Drink this pressed soma, O Indra, the eldest, immortal exhilaration...'
—for they have now reached, as it were, superiority.
Moreover, thereby they place sap and exhilaration into the third pressing.
