atha saptadaśa somagrahāngṛhṇāti | saptadaśa surāgrahānprajāpatervā ete andhasī yatsomaśca surā ca tataḥ satyaṃ śrīrjyotiḥ somo 'nṛtam pāpmā tamaḥ suraite evaitadubhe andhasī ujjayati sarvaṃ vā eṣa idamujjayati yo vājapeyena yajate prajāpatiṃ hyujjayati sarvamu hyevedam prajāpatiḥ
He (the Adhvaryu) then draws seventeen (other) cups of Soma, and (the Neshtri) seventeen cups of Surâ (spirituous liquor), for to Pragâpati belong these two (saps of) plants, to wit the Soma and the Surâ;--and of these two the Soma is truth, prosperity, light; and the Surâ untruth, misery, darkness: both these (saps of) plants he thereby wins; for he who offers the Vâgapeya wins everything here, since he wins Pragâpati, and Pragâpati indeed is everything here.
