Then the Mārgīyava with a word-refrain, connected with the Rathantara.
Therefore it is performed on a Rathantara day.
Mṛgayu, a god, indeed desired: "May I attain lordship and overlordship over both kinds of cattle—those that are domestic and those that are wild."
He saw this sāman.
With it he praised.
Thereupon he indeed attained lordship and overlordship over both kinds of cattle—those that are domestic and those that are wild.
From then on, a wild beast (mṛga) would fetch a wild beast for him.
That is a cattle-procuring sāman.
He attains lordship and overlordship over both kinds of cattle—those that are domestic and those that are wild, who knows thus.
That indeed is that god Mṛgayu;
he does not plot against the cattle of him who knows thus.
And because the god Mṛgayu saw it, therefore it is called Mārgīyava.
