sā ha khalu vai śreṣṭharddhīnāṃ sa lokānāṃ puṇyatamo yametenādityā agacchan
sā yā śreṣṭharddhīnāṃ yo lokānāṃ puṇyatamo yametenādityā agacchestaṃ
gacchāmeti tasmādetā rātrīrupayanti
vaiśvānaraḥ prāyaṇīyo'tirātro bhavati
vaiśvānaraprāyaṇā hyahīnāssomāḥ
The Ādityas and the Aṅgirases vied with one another for the heavenly world. The Ādityas desired, 'May we reach the heavenly world first.' They saw this course [of sacrifice]. They undertook it. Thereupon the Ādityas reached the heavenly world first; the Aṅgirases were left behind. That is indeed the best of prosperities, that the holiest of worlds, which the Ādityas reached by this [rite]. 'May we reach that which is the best of prosperities, that which is the holiest of worlds, which the Ādityas reached by this,' [thinking thus,] they undertake these nights. The introductory Atirātra is sacred to Vaiśvānara, for non-interrupted Soma rites begin with Vaiśvānara.
