These, then, are five grahas he draws; for that midday Pavamâna chant is a thunderbolt: hence it is a fifteenfold five-hymned chant, for the thunderbolt is fifteenfold. He is so by means of these five grahas (cups of Soma): for five are these fingers, and with the fingers he hurls (the thunderbolt).
