Preview of English translation:

3. He then orders (the sacrificer’s men), “Bring thou the Soma-cloth! bring thou the Soma-wrapper! bring thou the head-band!” Let some shining (cloth) be the Soma-cloth; for this is to be his (king Soma's) garment, and shining indeed is his garment: and whosoever serves him with a shining (garment), he truly shines. But he who says, “(Bring) anything whatsoever,” he will indeed be anything whatsoever: let the Soma-cloth, therefore, be some splendid (cloth), and the Soma-wrapper one of any kind.
