Now they also say: Vāyu is the placer of seed;
Sarasvatī is procreation;
those two generate Sarasvat from the couple.
Moreover, the cow runs first, the bull after; [therefore] Sarasvatī's [verse] alone should be made first.
And as to that: Sarasvat's [verse] alone should be made first.
Then the [verse] addressed to Bṛhaspati: 'May the kṣatra be consecrated in the brahman,' [he thinks].
Then the [verse] addressed to Savitṛ: 'Impelled by Savitṛ may he be consecrated,' [he thinks].
Then these two become introductory verses.
For two sāmans are performed here.
There is a nine-verse [tṛca] containing [the root] abhi- ('unto'): that is the form of the consecration (abhiṣeka).
Moreover, thereby they do not depart from the trivṛt stoma.
There is a six-verse hymn containing [the word] sa- ('with'):
'May he be consecrated with [verses] that speak of samaneness,' [he thinks].
It contains [the word] 'bull' (vṛṣan):
'May he be consecrated as a bull being consecrated,' [he thinks].
There is a four-verse hymn, for the obtaining of four-footed cattle.
Secretly there are two-footed ones, for the obtaining of two-footed cattle.
There is a conclusion: 'Whatever desire is in the conclusion, may that be attained by me,' [he thinks].
