> That is a sāman pertaining to cattle. / He who knows thus obtains cattle, he becomes rich in cattle. / And because Surūpa Āṅgirasa saw it, therefore it is called the Surūpa. / Prajāpati created cattle. / When they had been created, their forms were not distinguished. / He saw these Surūpa sāmans. / With them he placed forms into them. / That is the surūpatva of the Surūpas. / He who knows thus obtains cattle possessing form. / The Chandomas indeed have the Arka-sāmans, having the form of the Surūpa. / Praised with Chandomas that have sāman, that have form, is he who knows thus. / The meter is then struck again. / Wherever, indeed, the gods found the sap of the meters, that they struck again, / that they beat upon again. / Drained, as it were, are these Chandomas, having the third pressing as their seat. / For the third pressing is drained, as it were. / That the meter is struck again, by that they place sap into the meters; / this is the following along of the sap itself.
