Now when it is said, that the gods, by means of the Sâkamedha -offerings, slew Vritra and gained that supreme authority which they now wield,--it is rather by means of all the Seasonal sacrifices that the gods slew Vritra; it is by all of them that they gained that supreme authority which they now wield.
