Yama was present at that dawn; the sun rose with threefold hidden ordinance. Soma agreed in due time; the wise proclaimed for you three bonds in the sky.
Your horse is Yama and you are Āditya; you are Trita by a mysterious act; you are associated with Soma. The sages have said there are three bindings of you in heaven.
Yama art thou, O Horse; thou art Aditya; Trita art thou by secret operation. Thou art divided thoroughly from Soma. They say thou hast three bonds in heaven that hold thee.
