Acting as Ṛishis ... four-fold Stoma: The group of four Dawns appears to be here compared to the Chatu-ṣṭoma or the four-fold song. For a description of the four-fold Stoma see Ait. Br. III, 42, Haug's trans. p. 237). Gâyatrî &c. are the metres used. The light brought on by the Dawns is the reward of this Stoma. Sâyaṇa interprets suvas to mean 'heaven,' but compare Ṛig. III, 61, 4, where the adjective, svar janantî, 'creating light,' is applied to the Dawn.
