"Arise! State your desires! You have indeed no hope that you would conquer that world." Then Preṇi Saumāhita was wicked. He said: "He chooses the unassailable virility of seven he-goats. Whichever [woman] I speak to, may she desire me!" Then Madhucchandas Vaiśvāmitra said: "I choose the mouth of a Brahmin." Then Asita Devala said: "May I look into this very cup!" He said: "This one alone among them observes the vow." Looking into it divinely, he saw this sāman. He praised with it: "For wealth, O Agni, for great giving we would kindle you; invoke the bull, heaven and earth, for the great priestly office!" Heaven and earth are all these worlds. Thence indeed he wandered through all these worlds. In the morning he was in the assembly of the gods; at midday among humans, in that of Drupada Vārddhraviṣṇa; in the afternoon among the ancestors. This is that heavenly sāman. He wanders through all these worlds, he attains the heavenly world, who knows thus. And because Asita Devala saw it, therefore it is called "Āsita".
