These [verses] are:
'Flow, most honeyed, these pressed [somas] toward Indra.'
This third pressing is pressed-out dregs, sucked dry, past its prime.
Therefore Indra, feeling disgusted, stepped up away [from it];
for it was as if sucked dry.
For him the gods purified it with 'Flow.'
With 'most honeyed,' they made it honeyed.
'O Soma, for Indra, the intoxication that is wisest,
the intoxication that is most heavenly and great,'
thus in regular order they made it intoxicating for him.
'These pressed [somas] toward Indra,'
this line is as if one were to lead [him] back.
Being purifying verses, they are endowed with faculties and possessed of vital power.
Therefore, these very Uṣṇih and Kakubh verses should be used.
