He then tempts the Soma-seller (with the gold): 'In compensation for thy cow,' whereby he means to say, 'With the sacrificer (be) thy cow!' He then draws it (the gold) back towards the sacrificer, and throws it down, with, 'Ours be thy gold!' whereby he (the sacrificer) takes unto himself the vital energy, and the Soma-seller gets only the body. Thereupon the Soma-seller takes it.
