Preview of English translation:
7. He then fetches the Nigrabhyas (waters), and makes him (the sacrificer) mutter over them, “Ye are the Nigrabhyas, heard by the gods; satisfy me, satisfy my mind, satisfy my speech, satisfy my breath, satisfy mine eye, satisfy mine ear, satisfy my soul, satisfy mine offspring, satisfy my flocks, satisfy my followers, let not my followers thirst!” For water is sap, and over it he invokes this blessing, “Satisfy ye my whole self, satisfy my offspring, satisfy my followers, let not my followers thirst!” Now that Upamshusavana (stone), forsooth, is in reality Aditya Vivasvant (the sun), it is the pervading vital air (vyana) of this (sacrifice).
