> Thereupon the gods submitted to Indra for supremacy.  
> His own people submit to him for supremacy, who knows thus.  
> Therefore, on this night all dwell well-nourished.  
> For they dwell in the father, in Prajāpati, on this \[night\].  
> Therefore, on this night one should not offer; if one should offer, one should not pronounce \[the formulas\].  
> For Prajāpati is unexpressed.  
> Whatever three cavities he makes there, that they dwell well-nourished in his house, that indeed is his prosperity.  
> The months and the seasons said: 'With whatever sacrifice our father Prajāpati, having sacrificed, succeeded, with that let us sacrifice!'  
> They brought it.  
> Prajāpati considered: 'If they accomplish this, then just as I am this, so they will be.'  
> He said to them: 'Consecrate yourselves with me as the master of the house.'  
> They said: 'Let them proclaim you by us!'  
> 'And you by me!'  
> Therefore, they proclaim the year by the months and the seasons, and the seasons and the months by the year.  
> Therefore, they proclaim the father by the son, and the sons by the father.  
> By this, people designate their household relations, who knows thus.
