Of splendour Heaven and Earth have become the Gatherers: having seized splendour, may we fare wholly along the Earth. The cows, bringing glory, stand about the Lord of cattle as they come: having seized fame, may we fare wholly along the Earth.

Devata: Varcas and Yaśas (personified); Dyāvā-Pṛthivī as supports
