Now, the Kaunmalabarhiṣa. By this, indeed, Kunmalabarhis won both kinds of cattle: bovine and equine. He wins them by this. Kunmalabarhis desired: “May I secure both kinds of cattle, bovine and equine.” He saw this sāman; with it he praised: “Come here indeed, for the traveler find wealth for gift of riches; / shower down, O Generous One, for the search of cows, O Indra, for the search of horses!” — thus indeed he secured both kinds of cattle, bovine and equine. Having sacrificed with those cattle, he went to the heavenly world. That is this sāman belonging to cattle and leading to heaven. He secures cattle, he goes to the heavenly world, who knows thus. And because Kunmalabarhis saw it, therefore it is called Kaunmalabarhiṣa.
