> In the beginning, the ṛṣis had only the sacred formula and offspring, not cattle. / They desired, 'May we secure cattle.' / They beheld cattle in the year. / They set them free with this eight-iḷā padastobha. / They said, 'Are there indeed more?' / They set them free with a six-iḷā \[padastobha\]. / They said, 'Are there indeed more?' / They set them free with a four-iḷā \[padastobha\]. / They said, 'Are there indeed still more?' / They set them free with a two-iḷā \[padastobha\]. / These padastobhas are indeed cattle. / Cattle are this day. / One who knows thus becomes rich in cattle. / And they all are in the Jagatī meter. / Cattle indeed are the Jagatī. / And thereby even single-hoofed cattle stay with him, in that they all are in the Jagatī meter; / for all cattle belong to the Jagatī.

> Then there is the Pārtha with two repetitions, the form of the second day; / for this day is second by its domain. / Then the Śākvara Ṛṣabha. / The Simas are cattle; the Revatīs are cattle; the Ṛṣabha is cattle. / They introduce a bull among the cattle for pairing, for procreation. / One who knows thus propagates with a pair. / And it is established on two deities each. / Therefore a bull, mounting, becomes two-footed. / These are four-syllable deities. / Therefore, being two-footed, he mounts; / he generates four-footed \[offspring\]. / One who knows thus propagates with offspring and cattle. / And it is fivefold. / It is performed on the fivefold day for fullness of form. / 'The prize-winning drop flows, rich in cows'— / thus they are verses containing 'cow', containing cattle, for the securing of cattle; / for this day is cattle.
