viduttaraḥ puroḍāśaḥ sa yo ha vai viduttaraḥ puroḍāśa iti vedāva ha viśaṃ runddhe'tho yatkiṃ ca viśā jayyaṃ sarvaṃ haiva tajjayati tadyadāgneyaśca puroḍāśa upāṃśuyājaśca pūrvau bhavatastasmādubhe brahma ca kṣatraṃ ca viśi pratiṣṭhite
The second cake is the Vis (people); and, verily, whosoever knows the second cake to be the people secures for himself the people; and whatever is to be gained by the people all that he gains. And inasmuch as Agni's cake and the low-voiced offering come first therefore the priesthood and nobility are established upon the people.
