Upon these [verses is chanted] the Cyāvana [sāman]. Cyavana Bhārgava indeed understood the ritual mystery of the remnant of the dwelling. He said to his sons: 'Indeed, I know the ritual mystery of the remnant of the dwelling. Placing me on the site of the dwelling, drive off, repeatedly driving off thrice.' They said: 'We shall not be able to. We will become subject to reproach. "They have abandoned their father," they will say to us.' 'No,' he said, 'By this, you will become wealthier, and by this too there is hope of my being young again. Having abandoned me, just drive off.' Thus he instructed them. Having placed him in the Śaiśava [pool] of the Sarasvatī, they drove off, repeatedly driving off thrice. Abandoned on the site of the dwelling, he desired: 'May I be young again; may I obtain a young maiden as wife; may I sacrifice with a thousand [cows].' He saw this sāman. With it he praised.
