"O Adhvaryu, with the stones pressed,"
—so they proceed with the form of the Triṣṭubh;
this day is connected with the Triṣṭubh.
"Bring soma to the strainer,
purify it for Indra to drink!
With that stalk of yours, O Drop,"
—thus [the verses] contain the word "stalk" (andhas); food indeed is stalk, for the attainment of food.
"The gods drank of the sweet,
the Maruts of the purifying [soma],"
—thus they contain the word "Marut";
connected with the Maruts indeed is the form of midday;
thus they do not depart from the form of midday.
"The highest milk of heaven,"
—for the highest three-day period is performed, namely the Chandomas.
