Now this is the Pañcaśāradīya. / The Maruts desired: 'May we be the most energetic, the strongest, the most numerous, the most endowed with vital power among the gods; may we win the heavenly world.' / They saw this sacrifice. / They took it. / They sacrificed with it. / Thereupon they became the most energetic, the strongest, the most numerous, the most endowed with vital power among the gods; they won the heavenly world. / He becomes the most energetic, the strongest, the most numerous, the most endowed with vital power among his own people, and wins the heavenly world, who knows thus. / That very one is the sacrifice of the commoners. / The Maruts are the commoners; therefore it is the sacrifice of the commoners. / With this very [sacrifice] Ikyāvā Kāṃdama sacrificed. / He was the most energetic, the strongest, the most numerous, and the most endowed with vital power among his own people; whether he conquered the world or not. / It has seventeen [verses]; Prajāpati is seventeenfold. / Prajāpati is procreation: [he reflects,] 'May he who is procreation procreate me.' / Its pṛṣṭha is the Rathantara; the Rathantara is procreation: [he reflects,] 'May that which is procreation procreate me.' / It is an Ukthya; offspring and cattle are the ukthas: [he reflects,] 'May I procreate with offspring and cattle.'
