Beholding they offered the curd: their own milk and the labor’s seed streamed. At the dawn the call rose; born of these were steadfast heroes who milked the cows.
Contemplating their own (cattle) giving milk to their former progeny (the aṅgirasas) were delighted; their shouts spread through heaven and earth; they replaced the recovered kine in their plural ces, and stationed guards over the cows.
Drawing the milk of ancient seed prolific, they joyed as they beheld their own possession. Their shout of triumph heated earth and heaven. When the kine showed, they bade the heroes rouse them.
