> Then these \[verses\] beginning: "I praise the stream of you flowing..." are made the share of the uṣṇih at the ārbhava-pavamāna.  
> They consist of seven-syllable pādas;  
> seven are the breaths;  
> they go on, flourishing with the breaths;  
> they find support in the breaths.  
> Moreover, they harm a Brahmin who should not be harmed, or one learned in the Veda (śrotriya), or a householder;  
> in that they consist of seven-syllable pādas, they flourish precisely through the breaths.  
> They are four-footed for firm support;  
> for they say: "As a four-footed \[animal\] he has stood firm."  
> The abhīvarta \[sāman\] is firmly established upon them;  
> the abhīvarta is speech;  
> those who run the vrātyā course are deprived of speech;  
> in that the abhīvarta is used, they flourish through speech.  
> "O Agni, come with the fires..." is the agniṣṭomasāman;  
> all gods are indeed fires;  
> through this, they reach all the gods.  
> It is thirty-three-fold;  
> thirty-three are all the deities;  
> they find firm support at the conclusion of the sacrifice in all these deities.
