ब्राह्मणांश्च समाहूय सोमाध्यक्षं उवाच तान् । यज्ञांगं सर्वमानीतं मया सोमाज्ञया द्विजाः । अनंतरं तु यत्कृत्यं भवद्भिस्तद्विधीयताम्
brāhmaṇāṃśca samāhūya somādhyakṣaṃ uvāca tān | yajñāṃgaṃ sarvamānītaṃ mayā somājñayā dvijāḥ | anaṃtaraṃ tu yatkṛtyaṃ bhavadbhistadvidhīyatām
બ્રાહ્મણોને બોલાવી સોમાધ્યક્ષે કહ્યું— “હે દ્વિજોઃ સોમની આજ્ઞાથી મેં યજ્ઞનાં સર્વ અંગો અને સામગ્રી લાવી છે. હવે આગળ જે કર્તવ્ય છે તે તમે વિધિપૂર્વક પૂર્ણ કરો।”
