Yonder [sun] is indeed the great one.
These are his corresponding names.
He also avoids this name of his.
That which is laid down at the beginning as a two-footed [verse] is man.
Then the three verses that follow are cattle:
the rump is the first, the thighs are two.
Cattle are born facing away;
therefore it is called "having the rump first".
Then the three verses that follow are: the calf first, then the udder, then the man.
Then the three verses that follow are: these two, head and neck, are one, and the final verse is the Upaśa.
It came second behind, as it were; therefore, for a dear person, one should make the final one have two Upaśas.
This indeed is what is granted to them, studied, to be lived upon:
that the calf is first, then the udder, then the man; granted indeed to him is what is studied, to be lived upon.
Now, if he should desire concerning anyone: "May what is studied by him be ungranted, not to be lived upon,"
20.112.p1
ūdhaḥ prathamaṃ kuryādatha vatsamatha puruṣam
he should place the udder first, then the calf, then the man.
20.112.p2
dhītaṃ haivāsyāprattamanupajīvanīyaṃ bhavati
What is studied by him becomes ungranted, not to be lived upon.
20.112.p3
atha yaṃ kāmayetāpaśu syāditi vatsamasyāntariyāt
Now, if he should desire concerning anyone: "May he be without cattle," he should omit his calf.
20.112.p4
paśavo vai vatsaḥ
The calf, indeed, is cattle.
20.112.p5
paśūnevāsyāntareti
He excludes him from cattle itself.
