On them [is sung] the Abhīvarta.
The gods and the asuras contended.
The gods desired: 'May we overcome these asuras.'
They saw this Abhīvarta.
With it they turned upon (abhy-ā-vṛt) the asuras.
Because they turned upon them, that is the turning-upon-ness of the Abhīvarta.
When the Abhīvarta is here, the Abhīvarta is indeed the thunderbolt; by the thunderbolt having overwhelmed the hateful rival, they rise up.
Its final cadence consists of one syllable.
Speech indeed consists of one syllable.
The heavenly world from here is, as it were, steep.
For this tenth day is the heavenly world.
When the final cadence consists of one syllable, it is just as if one were to strike down a firm peg, for not slipping down.
Then the Kāleya.
The Rathantara is Agni.
The Kāleya is the All-Gods.
And this heavenly world is all the gods.
They establish themselves in the heavenly world, in the All-Gods.

svādiṣṭyā madiṣṭye

'By the sweetest, most intoxicating…'
thus there are Gāyatrī verses containing the word mad ('intoxicating') for the Ārbhava Pavamāna.
Mada is sap.
What is the third pressing is as if sucked dry.
When these verses contain the word mad, they put sap into it; with sap they swell it.
