2-3.142
All the gods sat around him on every side as he stood victorious: the Vasus in front, the Rudras on the south, the Ādityas behind, the Maruts on the north, the All-Gods above, the Sādhyas and Āptyas below, and around [them] the Aṅgirases.
This indeed is divine prosperity, the divine assembly, the divine gathering.
He who knows thus indeed goes to this divine prosperity, the divine assembly, the divine gathering.
It amounts to six Bṛhatīs.
The six seasons are indeed the prosperity of the year.
He placed him atop prosperity.
He, raised atop this prosperity in the seasons and in the year, shines.
His [verses beginning] 'pratnaṃ pīyūṣaṃ pūrvaṃ yadukthyam'—these are Satobṛhatīs, having a share of the Gāyatrī.
The Gāyatrī is indeed spiritual power;
the Bṛhatī is royal power.
He thereby anoints spiritual power with glory.
Being of the nature of spiritual power, there is splendor for him like that of royal power, who knows thus.
2-3.142.p1
They chant praise upon them interlaced; for offspring and cattle are born from an interlaced pair,
for propagation.
Moreover, man is indeed interlaced with evils.
By means of them being interlaced, he strikes away the evils interlaced [with him].
