atha rathantaram
brahma vai rathantaram
brahmaṇyevaitatpratitiṣṭhanto yanti
tadgāyatrīṣu rathantaraṃ bhavati | yonyāmevaitadretaḥ pratiṣṭhāyanti
anuṣṭhyāsya retassiktaṃ prajāyate ya evaṃ veda
gāyatraṃ ha khalu vai rathantaraṃ gāyatrī chandaḥ
tadyadgāyatrīṣu rathantaraṃ pṛṣṭhaṃ bhavati | svenaivainaṃ tadāyatanena samardhayanti
tenaibhyassamṛddhena svāyāṃ janatāyāmṛddhukaṃ bhavati
trīṇi vā etāni samyañci saṃdhīyante gāyatrī chandaś | caturviṃśa stomo
rathantaraṃ sāma
tadyadetāni samyañci saṃdhīyante samṛddhyā eva
samasmā ṛdhyate ya evaṃ veda

Then the Rathantara.
The Rathantara is brahman.
They proceed, establishing themselves in brahman.
That Rathantara is on Gāyatrī verses; thus they establish semen in the womb.
According to proper order, the semen discharged by him who knows this brings forth.
The Rathantara is of Gāyatrī nature; the meter is Gāyatrī.
When the Rathantara is the pṛṣṭha on Gāyatrī verses, they endow it with its own abode.
Through it being made prosperous, prosperity thrives for them among their own people.
These three harmonious ones are joined together: the Gāyatrī meter, the twenty-fourfold stoma, and the Rathantara sāman.
When these harmonious ones are joined together, it is for prosperity.
He who knows this prospers fully.

54.292.p1

ete ha khalu vā arkyodāmanīye ete rathantarasyākṣare vyatiṣakte
etābhyaṃ evaitaddviṣantaṃ bhrātṛvyamupobhyottiṣṭhanti
tadāhurvyūḍhametadahā3ssamūḍhā3miti
ubhayamiti brūyād | vyūḍhaṃ ca samūḍhaṃ ceti
sāmabhirvyūḍhaṃ chandobhissamūḍhamiti
etā bhavanti
mā cidanyadvi śaṃsate
ti māsānevaitadardhamāsānabhivadati
atho teṣāmeva prajāpatimanu prajāyata

These two indeed are the Arkyodāmanī verses; these two syllables of the Rathantara are interwoven.
With these two, having bound down the hateful rival, they rise up.
Regarding this they say: 'Is this day unarranged or arranged?'
One should say: 'It is both, both unarranged and arranged:
unarranged by the sāmans, arranged by the meters.'
These [verses] occur:
'Do not recite anything else…'
In saying this, he addresses the months and the half-months.
Moreover, after them Prajāpati brought forth.
'O praisers, recite to Indra the bull alongside the pressed [soma], and repeatedly recite the ukthas;
to the bull that looks uncrooked, rushing like a horse, enduring like a draft ox,'
thus they contain the word go ('cow') and contain cattle, for the attainment of cattle.
