Singers fashioned the mind with channeling rays of the sun, to attain immortality. This tribe I have cut off from the assemblies by which the months were allotted in untruth.
The aṅgirasas, with minds intent on their cattle, (sat down to worshipIndra) with hymns, following the road to immortality; great was their person verance by which they sought for months to accomplish (their ends).
They sate them down with spirit fain for booty, making with hymns a way to life eternal. And this is still their place of frequent session, whereby they sought to gain the months through Order.
