15. Indra spake, “Verily, all this (universe), whatsoever there is, has submitted unto me: submit ye also to me!”—They said, “What shall be our (reward) then?”—“The first draught of king Soma shall be yours!”—“So be it!” thus they submitted to him; and they having submitted, he drew (ni-grabh) them to his breast; and because he thus drew them to his breast, therefore they are called Nigrabhyas. And in like manner does this sacrificer now draw them to his breast: and this is their first draught of king Soma, in that he pours Nigrabhya water thereon.
