Sent with gold, the god, purified by the gods, tasted the sap; and forthwith the sacred passed around. Thus the seat of worshippers was sanctified; the sacrificers became like the cattle.
The shining Somabeing purified by the golden hand that urges it forth, brings its juice into contact with the gods; when effused it proceeds with a roar to the filter like the ministrant priest to the halls prepared (for sacrifice) containing victims.
MADE pure by this man's urgent zeal and impulse the God hath to the Gods his juice imparted. He goes, effused and singing, to the filter, like priest to measured seats supplied with cattle.
