3.5.1
--evaṃ haitasmin sarvam idaṃ samprotaṃ gandharvāpsarasaḥ paśavo manuṣyāḥ /
—so upon this all this is strung: the gandharvas and apsarases, animals, and men.
3.5.2
tad dha muñjas sāmaśravasaḥ prayayau
tasmai ha śvājanir vaiśyaḥ preyāya /
Now Muñja Sāmaśravasa set out on a journey.
Towards him Śvājani, a vaiśya, came forward.
3.5.3
tasya hāntarikṣāt patitvā navanītapiṇḍa urasi nipapāta
taṃ hādāyānudadhau /
Having fallen from the intermediate space, a lump of butter dropped upon his chest.
Taking it, he ran after [Muñja].
3.5.4
tato haiva stomaṃ dadarśāntarikṣe vitatam bahu śobhamānam
tasyo ha yuktiṃ dadarśa /
Then indeed he saw the stoma stretched out in the intermediate space, shining greatly;
and he saw its application.
3.5.5
bahiṣpavamānam āsadya ṭītra viyi prāṇya iti kūryāt ṭītra gṛhitra apānya iti vācā
didṛkṣetaivākṣibhyaṃ śuśrūṣetaiva karṇābhyām
svayam idam manoyuktam /
Having approached the bahiṣpavamāna, he should breathe in [with the sound] "ṭītra viyi", and breathe out with speech [saying] "ṭītra gṛhitra".
He should desire to see with both eyes; he should desire to hear with both ears;
this [chant] is spontaneously yoked to the mind.
3.5.6
tad yatra vā iṣur atyagro bhavati na vai sa tato hinasti tad u vā etaṃ nopāpnuyāt
pa ity evāpānyāt
tad yathā bimbena mṛgam ānayed evam evainam etayā devatayānayati
sa yuktaḥ karoti
eṣa evāpi yuktaḥ /
prathame 'nuvāke pañcamaḥ khaṇḍaḥ /
prathamo 'nuvākas samāptaḥ //
Where an arrow is overly sharp, it does not harm from there, nor would it reach this [target].
He should breathe out just with "pa".
Just as one would lead a deer with a reflection/decoy, even so one leads him with this deity.
He acts when yoked;
and this one also is yoked.
[This is] the fifth khaṇḍa in the first anuvāka.
The first anuvāka is completed.
