This man hath come, speaking out; this man do ye welcome; O Brihaspati, taking [him] into thy control—O Agni and Soma, do ye (two) pierce [him] through.

Wherever, O Agni, thou knowest the births of them, of the devourers that are in secret, O Jātavedas, them do thou, increasing through worship (bráhman)—slay of them, O Agni, with hundredfold transfixion.
