Then [they praise with] the Anukrośa.
When the gods were going to the heavenly world by a three-day period, this third day of theirs, the Vairūpa, failed.
Regarding it, there is this verse:
'The gods, dwelling together in the Vairūpa, stood upon that; and that of theirs failed; / having made the sound hiṃ and mounted again, they all shook off old age from their bodies.'
Regarding it, there is this verse:
'When upon the destruction of the Vairūpa, they, making the sound hiṃ midway, halted in their course, / they created that abode of the gods, the sāman; by that the gods went to immortality.'
When they were going to the heavenly world, Vidhātṛ said to his sons: 'Do not pay attention; right here will I arrange you.'
