> Vajra Āṅgirasa, desiring cattle, practiced austerities.  
> He saw this sāman; he praised with it.  
> He reached this iḷā.  
> Cattle indeed are iḷā.  
> Then indeed he obtained cattle.  
> This is a cattle-granting sāman.  
> He obtains cattle, he becomes rich in cattle, who knows thus.  
> Because Vajra Āṅgirasa saw it, therefore it is called the Vajra.  
> Now the Yaudhājaya has three finales, for the arrangement of the pressings.  
> Now the Auśana is the final sāman, so that by the final sāman we may attain the final heavenly world.  
> Now the Rathantara.  
> The Agniṣṭoma is brahman; the Rathantara is brahman.  
> Standing firm in brahman they go forth.  
> Now the Vāmadevya.  
> Cattle indeed are the Vāmadevya.  
> Possessing cattle indeed they become, having praised with this.  
> Now the Naudhasa.  
> Sharing the same world indeed are the Kāleya and the Rathantara.

> "Forward the somas dripping intoxication"—thus there are Gāyatrī verses containing \[the word\] "forward" (pra) for the Ārbhava Pavamāna on a Rathantara day. For this day is one on which they wish to advance. "Forward" is the form of the Gāyatrī. With the form of the Gāyatrī they advance. They contain \[the word\] "intoxication" (mada). Intoxication is indeed sap. The third pressing is as it were drained. Since these \[verses\] contain \[the word\] "intoxication", they place sap in it; they swell it with sap.
