vācā yajñas tāyate / (soma: mādhyaṃdina savana)

for immortality'; verily thus they take themselves as a fee for fair fame, for the world of heaven, for immortality. Having recited (a verse ) by Viçvāmitra as the invitatory (verse) of the cup for the Maruts, he utters (a verse ) by Viçvāmitra as the offering verse; the cup for the Maruts is the continuity of the pressing; Viçvāmitra is speech; by speech the sacrifice is continued. These are two Triṣṭubhs addressed to Indra; the midday pressing is connected with Indra and the Triṣṭubh. He says the second *vaṣaṭ*, for the healing of the libations, for the support of the libations.
