सं॒सिचो॒ नाम॒ ते दे॒वा ये सं॑भा॒रान्त्स॒मभ॑रन्। सर्वं॑ सं॒सिच्य॒ मर्त्यं॑ दे॒वाः पुरु॑ष॒मावि॑शन्

‘Sprinkler’ by name are those Gods of thine who gathered and brought the requisites together. Having wholly sprinkled the mortal frame, the Gods entered into the Person.
देवताओं का नाम 'छांटने वाला' है। वो लोग सारा सामान इकठ्ठा करके लाए। पूरा शरीर छांटने के बाद, देवता उस इंसान के अंदर आ गए।
