She stepped forth; in the Gārhapatya-fire she took her seat. A man becometh a thriving householder, a lord of the house, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Āhavanīya she took her seat. The Gods come unto his god-invitation; he becometh dear to the Gods, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Southern fire she took her seat. He becometh one whose sacrifice is in accord with Order, worthy of the fee, securely established, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Assembly-hall she took her seat. Men come unto his assembly; he becometh an assemblyman, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Samiti she took her seat. Men come unto his gathering; he becometh a member of the Samiti, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in the Invitation she took her seat. Men come unto his summons; he becometh one to be invited, whoso thus knoweth. She stepped forth; in mid-air, fourfold, having strode abroad, she stood fast.
Sie trat hervor; im Gārhapatya-Feuer nahm sie ihren Sitz. Ein Mann wird ein gedeihender Hausvater, ein Herr des Hauses, wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; im Āhavanīya nahm sie ihren Sitz. Zu seiner Götter-Einladung (devahūti) kommen die Götter; den Göttern wird er lieb — wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; im südlichen Feuer (Dakṣiṇāgni) nahm sie ihren Sitz. Er wird ein rechter, „südlicher“ Bewohner des Opferwerks — wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; in der Versammlung (sabhā) nahm sie ihren Sitz. Zu seiner Versammlung kommen sie; er wird ein Versammlungswürdiger — wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; in der Gemeinde/Volksversammlung (samiti) nahm sie ihren Sitz. Zu seiner Gemeinde kommen sie; er wird ein Gemeindewürdiger — wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; in der Einladung (āmantraṇa) nahm sie ihren Sitz. Zu seiner Einladung kommen sie; er wird einer, den man einladen soll — wer dies so weiß. Sie trat hervor; im Luftraum (antarikṣa) stand sie, vierfach ausschreitend, fest gegründet.
