> Now, when, though the third pressing is in the Jagatī, he proceeds with it in the Gāyatrī alone, he causes the Brahmin to share in the Vaiśya's own \[property\].  
> He wishes to give to him through faith, through work, through service.  
> Indeed, when faith finds a Vaiśya, then indeed he desires a Brahmin.  
> He gives to him.  
> To that very \[rite\] the Anuṣṭubh is appended.  
> Now, when he sings the Anuṣṭubh—the Śūdra belongs to the Anuṣṭubh—he causes the Brahmin to share in the Śūdra's own \[property\].  
> He wishes to give to him through faith, through work, through service.  
> Indeed, when faith finds a Śūdra, then indeed he desires a Brahmin.  
> He gives to him.  
> He makes his own \[property\] exclusive; he has a share in dominion, he has a share in the peasantry.  
> He attains the intermediate state; he is not defeated in the intermediate state.  
> A hundred attendants, or even more, attend upon him who, knowing thus, does not sing the yokes variously.  
> If he should sing them variously, knowing that \[former teaching\], let him sing them variously.  
> And if he should not sing them variously, knowing this \[latter teaching\], let him not sing them variously.  
> 'It is misfortune for him who knows only one or the other,' said Śāṭyāyani.
