To them, to Ayāsya the Brahman, the Ādityas, having brought that Āditya himself who had become a white horse fastened with a halter, as a Brahman's horse, went to the heavenly world.

With it he united himself. The seventh day is, as it were, collapsed. In that here the Āyāsya occurs, with this they unite it; with this they heal it.

Thinking 'forth!', the Bhṛgus, thinking 'forth!', the Aṅgirases, thinking 'forth!', the Ādityas ascended to the heavenly world. As if thinking 'forth!', they ascend by this to the heavenly world.
