‘This—this indeed’ becometh his very form; thereby he bringeth him into full attainment. Refreshment, greatness, and sustaining strength they milk for him—whoso giveth the Goat with the Fivefold Porridge, made radiant with the priestly Fee.
„Dies—dies wahrlich“ wird zu seiner eigenen Gestalt; dadurch führt er ihn zur vollen Erlangung. Speise, Größe und tragende Kraft melken sie ihm aus — wer den Bock mit dem fünffachen Brei (pañcaudana) darbringt, strahlend durch die Opfergabe (dakṣiṇā).
