Then the Āśu.
The gods indeed desired: "May we swiftly (āśu) go to the heavenly world."
They saw this sāman.
With it they praised.
Thereupon they indeed went swiftly to the heavenly world.
That is the swiftness of the Āśu.
That is a heaven-procuring sāman.
Swiftly indeed he goes to the heavenly world with it, who knows thus.
Now they also call it the Āśu Bhārgava.
The gods and the Asuras were contending.
The gods ran to Bhṛgu: "Let us conquer the Asuras!"
Bhṛgu saw this sāman.
With it he praised.
Thereupon the gods indeed conquered the Asuras.
They said: "Swiftly indeed did this take place through Bhṛgu."
That is the swiftness of the Āśu.
And that [sāman] slays the rival and wins desires.
He slays his hating rival;
whatever desire he desires when praising with this, that desire succeeds for him.
