3.8.1
atha yat tṛtīyam amṛtaṃ tad ādityā upajīvanti varuṇena mukhena \
na vai devā aśnanti na pibanti \
etad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyanti \\308.1\
1. Now, the Ādityas live upon what is the third nectar [i. e. the Sāma-Veda] through Varuṇa as their mouth. Verily, the gods neither eat nor drink. They are satisfied merely with seeing that nectar.
3.8.2
ta etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśanti \
etasmād rūpād udyanti \\308.2\
2. These enter that [dark] form and come forth from that form.
3.8.3
sa ya etad evam amṛtaṃ vedādityānām evaiko bhūtvā varuṇenaiva mukhenaitad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyati \
sa etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśati \
etasmād rūpād udeti \\308.3\
3. He who knows thus that nectar becomes one of the Ādityas themselves and through Varuṇa as his mouth is satisfied merely with seeing that nectar. He enters that very form and comes forth from that form.
3.8.4
sa yāvad ādityo dakṣiṇata udetottarato 'stam etā dvis tāvat paścād udetā purastād astam etādityānām eva tāvad ādhipatyaṃ svārājyaṃ paryetā \\308.4\
4. So long as the sun shall rise in the south and set in the north, twice so long will it rise in the west and set in the east, and just that long will he compass the over-lordship and the chief sovereignty of the Ādityas.
