After separating one of the mothers from her calf, he touches her, with the text (Vâg. S. I, I d), 'May the divine Savitri animate you--' for Savitri, indeed, is the impeller (prasavitri) of the gods: 'may they, impelled by Savitri, prepare the sacrifice!' so he thinks, and for this reason he says, 'May the divine Savitri animate you!'
