> Agni dispelled his anger.  
> Indra, his anger gone, ran forth together with the gods.  
> Their sacrifice became without Indra and without gods.  
> They desired, "May our sacrifice have Indra, may it have gods!"  
> Vidanvat Bhārgava saw these sāmans.  
> With them he praised.  
> With them he called Indra.  
> With them he dispelled his anger.  
> Then indeed Indra turned back toward their sacrifice.  
> Then he became one who does not depart from them.  
> Then their sacrifice came to have Indra and to have gods.  
> These sāmans are indeed possessed of Indra and possessed of gods.  
> The sacrifice of one who knows thus comes to have Indra and to have gods; Indra turns toward his sacrifice; Indra does not depart from his sacrifice.  
> Cattle indeed are "those who find" (vidanvantaḥ); these verses contain "finding" (vidanvatīḥ).  
> Unto them they release this bull of Vidanvat, for pairing, for procreation.  
> He is procreated through a pair, who knows thus.  
> And because Vidanvat Bhārgava saw them, therefore they are called "Vaidanvatas."
