She who is yoked in front, and she who behind; she who is yoked from every side, and she from all quarters: by whom the Sacrifice is stretched forth and drawn onward—her I ask of thee: which of the verses is she?
आगे भी जुड़ती है, पीछे भी। हर तरफ से जुड़ती है। जिसके कारण यज्ञ आगे बढ़ता है, मैं उसे पूछता हूँ कि वो कौनसी शक्ति है।
