With it they praised. / Saying, 'They are in our power (vāśe),' they appropriated the will of the Asuras. / That is the vāśatva of the Vāśa [sāman]. / He who knows thus appropriates the will of his hateful rival. / With 'Who knows this, when the pressed [Soma] is accompanied…?' they step into the Satobṛhatī verses for non-slipping. / On them is the Naipātitha [sāman]. / When the descendants of Kaṇva were seated at a sacrificial session, their cattle ran low. / They desired, 'May we obtain cattle.' / Nepātithi Kāṇva saw this sāman. / With it he praised. / Thereupon, indeed, they obtained cattle. / That is a sāman pertaining to cattle. / He who knows thus obtains cattle, he becomes rich in cattle. / And because Nepātithi Kāṇva saw it, therefore it is called the Naipātitha. / With 'Hear both…,' by this he takes hold of both forms: that which belongs to the Pṛṣṭhya Ṣaḍaha and that which belongs to the Chandomas. / Therefore, on this [verse], when two are sacrificing together, one should make the Brahmasāman.
