ayujaśca uttare stomā bhavanti
ṛtavo vā ayujaḥ
ṛtavo vā idaṃ sarvaṃ prajanayanti
te ya idaṃ sarvaṃ prajanayanti te mā prajanayāniti
ahno'hna stomamutsṛjamānā yanti
ahno'hna stomamabhyupāharante
vīro vā eṣa yatstomaḥ
ahno'hna eva tadvīryaṃ prajanayanto yantyahno'hno
vīryamabhyupāharante'kṣareṇākṣareṇotkrāmanto yanti
ekākṣaraṇidhanaṃ prathame'hani bhavati dvyakṣaraṇidhanaṃ dvitīye tryakṣaraṇidhanaṃ tṛtīye
caturakṣaraṇidhanaṃ caturthe'kṣareṣṭhā vīro'sadakṣareṣṭhā vīro'saditi
nānāgniṣṭomasāmāni bhavanti vīrāṇāmeva nānāvīryatāyai
na ha vai sa vīro yo'nyasya vīryamanu vīraḥ
sa ha vāva vīro ya ātmana eva vīryamanu vīraḥ
tadyannānāgniṣṭomasāmāni bhavanti vīrāṇāmeva nānāvīryatāyai
And the higher stomas are odd. The seasons, indeed, are odd. The seasons, indeed, generate all this. Thinking, 'May they who generate all this cause me to propagate.' Day by day, releasing a stoma, they proceed; day by day, they bring near a stoma. The stoma, indeed, is a hero. Day by day, thus, generating vital power they proceed; day by day, they bring near vital power. Syllable by syllable, ascending, they proceed. There is a one-syllable finale on the first day, a two-syllable finale on the second, a three-syllable finale on the third, a four-syllable finale on the fourth, thinking: 'May a hero stand upon the syllables, may a hero stand upon the syllables.' There are different Agniṣṭoma-sāmans, for the distinct vital powers of heroes. He is indeed no hero who is a hero according to another's vital power; he alone is a hero who is a hero according to his own vital power. That there are different Agniṣṭoma-sāmans is for the distinct vital powers of heroes.

2-8.282.p4
tadyatsamāni stotrāṇi syussamāvaccha eva vīryamaśnuvīran
