The performer of Svadhya who opposes the gods, the harsh one, the charioteer of fame among gods — let not the mother take away the newborn; may not the assembled ones afflict the offerings to the sacrificer.

The devout performers of holy rites, desirous of chariots, have had recourse to the doors (of thesacrificial chamber); (the ladles), plural ced to the east, are plural ing the fire with ghee at sacrifices, as the mothercows lick the calf, or as rivers (water the fields).

With holy thoughts the pious have thrown open Doors fain for chariots in the Gods' assembly. Like two full mother cows who lick their youngling, like maidens for the gathering, they adorn them.
