9. He metes out with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VI, 32), “Thee for Indra, with the Vasus, with the Rudras!” For Indra is the deity of the sacrifice: therefore he says, “Thee for Indra;” and by saying 'with the Vasus, with the Rudras,' he assigns a share, along with (or after) Indra, to the Vasus and the Rudras.—“Thee for Indra, with the Adityas!” whereby he assigns a share to the Adityas along with Indra.—“Thee for Indra, the slayer of foes!” a foe is an enemy: “Thee for Indra, the slayer of enemies,” he means to say. This is his (Indra's) special share: as there is a special share for a chief, so is this his special share apart from the (other) gods.
