He digs them, in the very same order in which they have been marked off, with, 'Thou art great, of great sound!'--he praises and extols them, when he says, 'Thou art great, of great sound;'--'Utter thou the great voice unto Indra!'--Indra, forsooth, is the deity of the sacrifice; and the cart-shed belonging to Vishnu, he thereby makes it to be connected with Indra: therefore he says, 'Utter thou the great voice unto Indra!'
