"Rising up together with might"—this is addressed to Indra. The trinava stoma is might and vital power; directly they thus proclaim that. "Both heaven and earth [yielded] to you"—these two are indeed heaven and earth; he thereby speaks to them. "As you contended, they yielded"—they indeed yielded to him as he contended. "O Indra, when you were the slayer of the Dasyu"—this contains the word "slay". This is the sacrificer's own laud, that belonging to the Brahman priest; in their own abode they thus slay all evil of the sacrificer. "Speech with eight feet, nine corners, thriving on truth, I have fashioned my body from Indra"—speech indeed is eight-footed, the Gāyatrī. Its corners are the trivṛt stoma. This is the highest divine couple, productive of offspring: the trivṛt stoma and the Gāyatrī meter. They thereby establish that highest divine couple, productive of offspring, for the propagation of the sacrificer.
