Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 1.34

1.34

He offers for ten days;
forty oblations are completed.
Of forty syllables indeed is the Paṅkti;
forty are the Maruts, the gods.
They are attached to the Paṅkti.
To those Maruts, the gods, the Paṅkti milks desires upon desires with each syllable.
In the same way, it milks for him who offers.
The Paṅkti indeed among meters he conquers, and the Maruts among the gods.
He attains union with and the same world as the Maruts, the gods, who, knowing thus, performs the fire-offering.
