Calling with the right‑hand, the birds cry; O makers, you speak of seasons. Both tongues speak like Sāmaga, and the Gayatri and Trishtubh follow the kingly strain.

Let the birds in quest of their food, according to the season, proclaim their circumambulations like the celebrators (of sacred rites); he utters both notes, as the chanter of the sāma recites the gayatrī and tṛṣṭubh, and delights (the hearers).

HERE on the right sing forth chanters of hymns of praise, even the winged birds that in due season speak. He, like: a Sama-chanter utters both the notes, skilled in the mode of Trstup and of Gayatri.
