Preview of English translation:

6. Let him take it out with all speed, for thus he (Soma) is honoured. The housewife holds on to it from behind; for the sacrificer holds on to him (Soma), while he is driven around, and here his wife does so. Thus they enclose him on the two sides by a (married) couple: and, indeed, wherever a worthy person comes, there all the inmates of the house bestir themselves, for thus he is honoured.
