> They sustain the fire; they separately sustain the high altar. Thereby that first oblation reaches this fire. Then to them these Ādityas brought that very sun as a white horse, fastened with a horse-halter, \[saying,\] 'Receive this one.' They said, 'This one is indeed superior to us; we cannot endure this.' The gods and the seers, coming up to them, said, 'Sacrifices without priestly gifts will be cut off; accept!' Concerning this, this verse is recited: / 'The Ādityas brought a horse as the sacrificial gift to the Aṅgirases, O singer. / That \[gift\], O singer, they did not accept; that, O singer, you did not receive. / And then, O singer, they accepted it; and then, O singer, they received it, / lest the sacrifices be without leaders, lest they be without understanding.'
