Now this is the Sadyaḥkrī. / Chosen, they did not go away. / Having come, they performed the sacrifice. / To them they brought this Speech, having become a white mare, wearing a bridle, [saying,] "Accept this!" / They said: "She is superior to us; we shall not undertake [to accept] her." / Enraged that they did not accept her, having become a lioness with faces on both sides, she leaped upward. / She stood between both gods and asuras, seizing whomever she reached of the gods, whomever of the asuras. / The gods invited her, and the asuras invited her. / Turning toward the gods, she said: "What will there be for me if I turn toward you?" / "The oblation prior to Fire shall reach you." / They assigned her [a place] at the sacrificial rite. / That is this high altar (uttaravedi). / The oblation prior to Fire reaches that very one.
