The angels could not rest on the Rik or the Yajus. On the Saman only could they rest. He makes the noise "Him"; thus he makes the Saman. He makes the noise "Him"; where the angels rested, there he sets them in motion. He makes the noise "Him"; this is the yoking of speech. He makes the noise "Him"; thus the sacrificers produce offspring. He repeats the first verse thrice, the last thrice; thus he ties the end of the sacrifice so that it may not slip. He repeats it continuously, for the continuity of the breaths and of food, and for the smiting away of the evil ones. The first he repeats is connected with the Rathantara, this world is connected with the Rathantara; thus he conquers this world. He divides it thrice; these worlds are three; thus he conquers these worlds. The last he repeats is connected with the Brihat; yonder world is connected with the Brihat; thus he conquers yonder world. "Forward your viands," he repeats, a verse which has not any indication of its deity and therefore is addressed to the Creator. The Creator is the sacrifice; thus he grasps the sacrifice as the Creator's. "Forward your viands," he repeats; viands are food; thus he wins food. "Forward your viands," he repeats; therefore seed is deposited in front. "O Radiant One, come hither for the feast," he repeats; therefore offspring are born at the back. "Forward your viands," he repeats; "viands" are the months, "heavenwards" are the half-months, "rich in the oblation" are the angels, "full of butter" is the cow, "he goes to God" is the sacrifice, "desirous of favour" is the sacrifice. "Thou art this, thou art this," with these words he wins the dear abode of the sacrifice. If he desire for a man, "May he live all his days," he should repeat for him "Forward your viands," and then continuously the next half-verse of "Radiant One, come hither to the feast." Thus by expiration he makes steadfast his inspiration, and he lives all his days. One who knows the elbow of the Samidhenis puts his enemy in his elbow. He joins the half-verses; this is the elbow of the Samidhenis; one who knows thus puts his foe in his elbow. The Samidhenis were brought out by seer after seer; if they were not connected together, they would go away from the sacrificer's offspring and cattle. He unites the half-verses; thus he connects them together, and being so connected and secured they yield him all his desires.
