Therefore they say: 'Let the stalk of Soma swell.'
This night indeed dwindles.
In that it has ghṛtaścut as finale, with this they cause it to swell.
Ghṛtaścut and Madhuścut were left behind while the Āṅgirases were going to the heavenly world.
They both desired: 'May we fly up to the heavenly world.'
They practiced austerity.
They saw these two sāmans.
They praised with them.
Having praised, with 'Ghṛtaścut' and 'Madhuścut' they flew up to the heavenly world.
Ghee is the end of milks; the heavenly world is the end of worlds.
Honey is the end of juices; the heavenly world is the end of worlds.
With these two ultimate sāmans, they reached the ultimate, the heavenly world.
With these two ultimate sāmans, he reaches the ultimate, the heavenly world, who knows thus.
Cattle indeed are ghṛtaścut; cattle are madhuścut.
With these two they secured cattle.
Having sacrificed with those cattle, they went to the heavenly world.
These two are sāmans conferring cattle and conferring heaven.
He secures cattle, he goes to the heavenly world, who knows thus.
