devā vai brahmaṇo vatsena vācam aduhran
agnir ha vai brahmaṇo vatsaḥ /
The gods milked speech by means of the calf of brahman. Agni is indeed the calf of brahman.

sā yā sā vāg brahmaiva tat
atha yo 'gnir mṛtyus saḥ /
That which is speech is brahman itself. And that which is Agni is death.
2.13.3
tām etāṃ vācaṃ yathā dhenuṃ vatsenopasṛjya prattāṃ duhītaivam eva devā vācaṃ sarvān kāmān aduhran /
Just as one would milk that speech, having brought the calf near like a cow, when she has yielded [her milk], even so the gods milked all desires from speech.
2.13.4
duhe ha vai vācaṃ sarvān kāmān ya evaṃ veda
sa haiṣo 'nānṛto vācaṃ devīm udindhe vada vada vadeti /
He indeed milks all desires from speech who knows thus. Unduped, he kindles the divine speech, saying: 'Speak, speak, speak!'
2.13.5
tad yad iha puruṣasya pāpaṃ kṛtam bhavati tad āviṣkaroti
yad ihainad api rahasīva kurvan manyate 'tha hainad āvir eva karoti
tasmād vāva pāpaṃ na kuryāt /
pañcame 'nuvāke prathamaḥ khaṇḍaḥ //
Whatever evil is done here by a man, that it brings to light. Even what one thinks he does here in secret, as it were, that it brings to light. Therefore, one should not do evil. / First khaṇḍa in the fifth anuvāka.
