YV 3.3c

'Herein the dread (ones) have moved themselves' [1], he says; that is as in the text. 'The lofty form of the bull shineth on high,' he says; the rain is in its lofty form; verily by the form he wins the rain. 'That undeceived, watchful, name of thine, O Soma', he says; he indeed offers an oblation with an oblation who drawing the Adabhya (cup) offers it to Soma. The life and breath him [2] who draws the Ançu depart; 'Come breath to us from afar', he says; verily he bestows life and breath upon himself. 'Thou art ambrosia; for breath thee!' (with these words) he breathes over the gold; the gold is ambrosia, breath is life; verily with ambrosia he bestows life upon him self. It is of a hundred (Krsnalas) in weight; man has a hundred years of life, a hundred powers; verily he finds support in life and power. He touches the waters; the waters are medicine; verily he makes medicine. a Thou art the wind, expiration by name, in the lordship of Savitr give me expiration. b Thou art the eye, the ear by name, in the lordship of Dhatr give me life. c Thou art the form, colour by name, in the lordship of Brhaspati, give me offspring. d Thou art holy order, truth by name, in the lordship of Indra, give me lordly power. e Thou art the past, the future by name, in the lordship of the Pitrs, expugnate the waters and the plants. f Thee for the realm of holy order! g Thee for the might of holy order! [1] h Thee for the circumference of holy order! i Thee for the truth of holy order! k Thee for the light of holy order! Prajapati saw the Viraj; by it he created the past and the future; he concealed it from the Rsis; by penance Jamadagni beheld it, and by it he created various delights; that is why the various (cups) have their name. In that the various (cups) are drawn, so the sacrificer wins various delights. 'Thou art the wind, expiration [2] by name', he says; verily he wins expiration and inspiration.' 'Thou art the eye, the ear by name', he says; verily he wins life.
