By sacrifice and by Atharvan's rite was the first way established; thence the Sun, observant of vow, moved in his course. He come, he uttered laws, the seers with him worship the birthless immortal—may we offer that deathless immortal by worship.

Atharvan first by sacrifices discovered the path (of the stolen cattle); then the bright sun, the cherisher of pious acts, was born. Atharvan regained the cattle; Kāvya (Uṣanās) was associated with him. Let us worship the immortal (Indra), who was born to restrain (the asuras).

Atharvan first by sacrifices laid the paths then, guardian of the Law, sprang up the loving Sun. Usana Kavya straightway hither drove the kine. Let us with offerings honour Yama's deathless birth.
