Thus he takes (the Âsvina graha) from that (stream of Soma), with (Vâg. S. VII, 11; Rig-veda I, 22, 3), 'Mix ye the sacrifice, O Asvins, with that goad of yours, rich in honey and joyfulness!--Thou art taken with a support! thee for the Asvins!' with 'This is thy womb: thee for the honey-loving (Asvins)!' he deposits it. Now as to why he takes (the graha) with a verse containing (the word) 'honey (madhu),' and deposits it with 'thee for the honey-loving!'
