And even as then Brihaspati hasted up to Savitri for his impulsion,--Savitri being the impeller among the gods--saying, 'Impel this for me: impelled by thee, may I win this!' and Savitri, as the impeller, impelled it for him, and impelled by Savitri, he won; in like manner does he thereby haste up to Savitri for his impulsion,--Savitri being the impeller among the gods,--saying, 'Impel this for me: impelled by thee, may I win!' and Savitri, as the impeller, impels it for him, and impelled by Savitri he wins.
