2. It is as Vac that he steps into them; (with the text, Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 21), “Thou art a Vasvi, thou art Aditi, thou art an Aditya, thou art a Rudra, thou art Candra; for she is indeed a Vasvi and Aditi, an Aditya, a Rudra, Candra. ”May Brihaspati make thee rest in happiness!'—Brihaspati being the Brahman, he thereby means to say, “May Brihaspati lead thee hither by means of the good (work)!” 'Rudra, together with the Vasus, is well-pleased with thee:' this he says to secure her (the cow's) safety, for cattle cannot pass beyond Rudra.
