o Matali with the Kavyas, Yama with the Angirases, Brhaspati rejoicing with the Rkvans, Those whom the gods magnified and those who magnified the gods; Some in the Svaha call, some in the Svadha rejoice [5]. p Sit on this strew, O Yama, In accordance with the Angirases, the fathers Let the verses made by the poets bring thee hither Rejoice, O king, in this offering. Come with the Angirases who deserve the sacrifice Yama, rejoice here with the Vairupas; I summon Virasvant who is thy father, Sitting down on the strew at this sacrifice. r The Angirases, our fathers, the Navagvas, Atharvans, Bhrgus, who love the Soma; May w e be in the favour of those ones worthy of sacrifice, May we have their kindly good will.
