Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
I make...ascend: the fivestages are the five members of the sacrifice: i.e., grain, Soma, the kind, the puroḍāśa cake and butter. Thefour steps are: the metres most commonly used, triṣṭubh etc.; the other three are perhaps, jagatī, gāyatrīand anuṣṭubh; pious observances: rupaḥ = that which causes the sacrificers to ascend to heaven, i.e., thesacrifice, I make ascend = I put on the sakaṭa
