'What exhilarating intoxication of yours is choice...'—[with these words] the Gāyatrī verses of the Ārbhava Pavamāna contain [the word] 'exhilarating' (madvat). Exhilaration is sap. Drained, as it were, is this third pressing. Therefore, in that these contain [the word] 'exhilarating', they place sap in it; by this they swell the pressing. 'Flow on with it for the food-offering...'—they contain [the word] 'food-offering' (andhasvat); food indeed is food-offering, for the acquisition of food. 'Slayer of Vṛtra, the foe...'—this is the form of the Bṛhatī; what is above midday, that is the Bṛhatī-form of this day. 'Mingled, ruddy, you have become with well-yielding cows...'—broken down, as it were, is this day which is the seventh. Therefore, in that it says 'with well-yielding [cows]' (sūpasthābhiḥ), it is for the well-standing (upasthiti) of the day.
