Preview of English translation:
14. He then makes (the sacrificer) say the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 34), “Thou art gracious unto me, go forth, O Lord of the world—,” for he (Soma) is indeed gracious to him, wherefore he heeds no other but him. Even his (Soma’s own) kings come (to him) to attend the assembly, and he is the first to salute the kings, for he is gracious. This is why he says, “Thou art gracious.” 'Go forth, O Lord of the world,' he says, because he (Soma) is the lord of beings. “To all dwellings,” 'all dwellings' doubtless means the limbs; with reference to his limbs he says this, “May no prowling enemies meet thee! may no waylayers meet thee! May no malicious wolves meet thee!” this he says lest the evil spirits should meet him on his way.
