1.3.1
dvayā ha prājāpatyā devāśvāsurāśca | tataḥ kānīyasā eva devā jyāyasā asurāsta eṣu lokeṣvaspardhanta te ha devā ūcurhantāsurānyajña udgīthenātyayāmeti
There were two classes of Prajâpati's sons, the gods and the Asuras. Naturally,footnote{Literally, 'therefore.'} the gods were fewer, and the Asuras more in number. They vied with each other for (the mastery of) these worlds. The gods said, 'Now let us surpass the Asuras in (this) sacrifice through the Udgītha.'
