The third day is yonder world in its abode, Varuṇa, the Jagatī, the Saptadaça Stoma, the Vairūpa Sāman, the basis by Tanva; it has the following symbols in its verses: the past tense with the mention of the god in the last Pada—the past is what refers to what has happened—(the word) 'horse', (the word) 'cow', (the word) 'chariot', (the word) 'go', (the word) 'stand', (the word) 'end', the same ending, the lack of definite mention (of the deity), the same beginning. 'Yoke thou those best fit to invoke the gods' is the Ājya. They say 'Seeing that the third day is the end, then why does the Ājya contain (the word) "yoke"?' 'By this day the gods went to the world of heaven; yoked thither they went; therefore (it contains "yoke")' should he reply. It contains (the word) 'chariot' in 'The steeds, O Agni, like a charioteer'; this is a symbol of this day. It is in Gāyatrī, for this set of three days has the Gāyatrī at the morning pressing. So in the transposed form. Taking out that, 'Thou, O Agni, the Vasus here' is used in the conjunct form. The explanation of this has been given. The Praüga is in Uṣṇih verses by Atri; the third day is connected with the Jagatī; in that the Praüga is in Uṣṇih verses by Atri for the third day, thus the Jagatī enjoys the third pressing.
