The Vasus praised him with the Gāyatrī meter, with the Gāyatra sāman, with the morning pressing. He invited them to that very pressing. The Rudras praised him with the Triṣṭubh meter, with the Traiṣṭubha sāman, with the midday pressing. He invited them to that very pressing. The Ādityas praised him with the Jagatī meter, with the Jāgata sāman, with the third pressing. He invited them to that very pressing. The All-Gods, Speech, Mind, and Prajāpati praised him with the Anuṣṭubh meter, with the Yajñāyajñīya sāman. He invited them to that very stotra. In this way these gods attached themselves to this sacrificial rite. Now, those who did not attach themselves to it—
