21.127
Indra realized that: 'He has indeed spoken to the two of them!' / Running up to him, he cut off his head—this horse's head. / Then these two wise ones replaced what had been his own head. / The two came to the gods who were sacrificing with a headless sacrifice. / They said to them, 'You are sacrificing with a headless sacrifice! / You do not obtain that desire which is [sought] in the sacrifice.' / 'Who knows that head of the sacrifice?' / 'We two,' [they said]. / 'Then replace it!' / 'Draw a soma cup for the two of us!' / For the two of them they drew this Āśvina cup. / They said, 'You two indeed are the adhvaryus. As you know this, you will replace this head of the sacrifice.' / 'So be it.' / The two became the adhvaryus. / Thereby the two became drinkers of soma.
