3.7.1
atha yad dvitīyam amṛtaṃ tad rudrā upajīvantīndreṇa mukhena \
na vai devā aśnanti na pibanti \
etad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyanti \\307.1\
1. Now, the Rudras live upon what is the second nectar [i. e. the Yajur-Veda] through Indra as their mouth. Verily, the gods neither eat nor drink. They are satisfied merely with seeing that nectar.
3.7.2
ta etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśanti \
etasmād rūpād udyanti \\307.2\
2. These enter that [white] form and come forth from that form.
3.7.3
sa ya etad evam amṛtaṃ veda rudrāṇām evaiko bhūtvendreṇaiva mukhenaitad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyati \
sa etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśati \
etasmād rūpād udeti \\307.3\
3. He who knows thus that nectar becomes one of the Rudras themselves and through Indra as his mouth is satisfied merely with seeing that nectar. He enters that very form and comes forth from that form.
3.7.4
sa yāvad ādityaḥ purastād udetā paścād astam etā dvis tāvad dakṣiṇata udetottarato 'stam etā rudrāṇām eva tāvad ādhipatyaṃ svārājyaṃ paryetā \\307.4\
4. As long as the sun shall rise in the east and set in the west, twice so long will it rise in the south and set in the north, and just that long will he compass the overlordship and the chief sovereignty of the Rudras.
