Following the heard immortal, they strengthened the firm strong one like a bull, guarding the hymns; bowing, they bore the skillful ones into the pit with Mitra and Varuna among them.

To make the lustre wider and more famous, guarding the sacred grass with veneration, Ye, Mitra-Varuna, firm, strong, awe-inspiring, are seated on a throne amid oblations.
