On them is the Śnauṣṭa. By this indeed Agni Vaiśvānara shone. They sit at a sacrificial session [saying], 'May we shine.' They indeed cause him to shine by this. Now Agni Vaiśvānara was previously just like these embers. He desired: 'May sparks, flames, be born to me.' He saw this sāman. With it he praised. Thereupon sparks, flames, were born to him. Truly these sparks of his are flames. His splendor, spiritual luster, was then born. Splendid, endowed with spiritual luster, possessing sparks he becomes, who knows thus. And it becomes, as it were, restrained, a form of the end. For this day is the end. Just as one would call after a person going off without guidance, 'Come here, do not go beyond!', just so the stomas, having been attained by this, call after from the end.
