Then Vâyu blew a second time through him and thereby made him palatable; whereupon he was fit for offering and fit for drinking. Hence those (vessels), though belonging to various deities, are called 'vâyavya (Vâyu's vessels).' His (Vâyu's) is that first Vashat of king Soma, and, moreover, those vessels are named after him.
