3.4.1.7
sa vā anyenaiva tato yajuṣā gṛhṇīyāt | yeno cānyāni havīṃṣyekaṃ vā eṣa bhāgaṃ krīyamāṇo 'bhikrīyate candasāmeva rājyāya candasāṃ sāmrājyāya tasya candāṃsyabhitaḥ sācayāni yathā rājño 'rājāno rājakṛtaḥ sūtagrāmaṇya evamasya candāṃsyabhitaḥ sācayāni
Let him take out (the material) with a different formula from that wherewith (one takes out) any other oblations, since, when he (Soma) is bought, he is bought for one special destination,--for the sovereignty of the metres, for the supreme sovereignty of the metres. The metres act as attendants about him; even as the non-royal king-makers, the heralds and headmen, (attend upon) the king, so do the metres act as attendants about him (Soma).
