3.9.4.10

śyenāya tvā somabhṛta iti | tadgāyatryai mimīte 'gnaye tvā rāyaspoṣada ityagnirvai gāyatrī tadgāyatryai mimīte sa yadgāyatrī śyeno bhūtvā divaḥ somamāharattena mā śyenaḥ somabhṛttenaivāsyā etadvīryeṇa dvitīyam mimīte

'Thee for the Soma-bearing falcon!' this he metes out for Gâyatrî.--'Thee for Agni, the bestower of growth of wealth!' Now Agni is Gâyatrî: he metes this out for Gâyatrî. And since Gâyatrî, as a falcon, fetched Soma from heaven, therefore she is (called) the Soma-bearing falcon: for that prowess of hers he metes out (for her) a second portion.
