savitṛ prasūtam vā idam annam adyate anna adyasya upāptyai /

sixth is for the All-gods; of all forms is food eaten; (it serves) to obtain proper food. The seventh is for Indra; Indra is the lordly power; (it serves) to win the glory of the lordly power. The eighth is for the Maruts; the Maruts are the waters; the waters are food; (it serves) to obtain proper food. The ninth is for Indra and Agni; Indra and Agni are the holy and the lordly powers; (it serves) to win the glory of the holy power and the glory of the lordly power. The tenth is for Savitṛ; instigated by Savitṛ is this food eaten; (it serves) to win proper food. The eleventh is for Varuṇa; Varuṇa is the lordly power; (it serves) to win the glory of the lordly power. Thus Prajāpati, by the holy power and the lordly power and by the lordly power and the holy power, kept encircling on both sides and winning proper food. Verily thus also the sacrificer, by the holy power and the lordly power and by the lordly power and the holy power, keeps encircling on both sides and winning proper food.
