19. Having quitted his hold of him, he (the sacrificer) renders homage to him with, “Now, O divine Soma, hast thou, a god, joined the gods, and here I the men with increase of wealth.” Now Agni and Soma have seized him who consecrates himself between their jaws, for that consecration-offering belongs to Agni and Vishnu, and Vishnu forsooth is no other than Soma; and he himself that consecrates himself is the food of the gods: thus they have seized him between their jaws, and he now expressly redeems himself from Soma, when he says, “Now, O divine Soma, hast thou, a god, joined the gods, and here (have I joined) the men with increase of wealth;”—increase of wealth means abundance: “with abundance” he thereby means to say.
