3.16.5

atha yāny aṣṭācatvāriṃśad varṣāṇi tat tṛtīyasavanam \
aṣṭācatvāriṃśadakṣarāḥ jagatī \
jāgataṃ tṛtīyasavanam \
tad asyādityā anvāyattāḥ \
prāṇā vāva ādityāḥ \ete hīdaṃ sarvam ādadate \\316.5\

5. Now, the [next] forty-eight years are the third libation, for the Jagatī meter has forty-eight syllables and the third libation is offered with a Jagatī hymn. The Ādityas are connected with this part of the sacrifice. Verily, the vital breaths are the Ādityas, for [on departing] they take everything to themselves (*ādadate*).
