'Toward us, best winner of booty'—because there is [the word] 'toward' (abhi), it is the characteristic form of the Rathantara; this day has the Rathantara nature. 'Flowing with wealth, eagerly sought by hundreds, / O Soma, bearing thousands, mighty in glory, enduring widely'—what has 'hundreds' and has 'thousands', that is the characteristic form of the chandomas; for the chandomas are cattle. 'This sounding Soma has flowed into the sheep's [filter], dripping exhilaration'—thus they are possessed of exhilaration. Just in proper sequence they place sap and exhilaration in the third pressing. 'May we belong to this wealth of yours, rich one, rich one, much sought, / may we be closest, longing, in your favor, O uncheckable one'—these [verses] have [words meaning] 'cattle' (gomatīḥ) and 'possessing animals' (paśumatīḥ), [used] for obtaining cattle; for the chandomas are cattle. On them [is sung] the Gaurīvīta; its ritual explanation has been stated.
