4.2.1.2
taṃ saktubhiḥ śrīṇāti | tadenam manthaṃ karoti teno eṣa manthyetau ha vā āsām prajānāṃ cakṣuṣī ma yaddhaitau nodiyātāṃ na haiveha svau cana pāṇī nirjānīyuḥ
He mixes it with (barley) meal: thus he makes it to be gruel (mantha), whence it is (called) Manthin. Now those two (sun and moon); forsooth, are the eyes of these creatures; for were those two not to rise, these (creatures) could not distinguish even their own hands.
