He pours it with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VI, 34), “Ye are grateful, the subduers of Vritra;”—the waters indeed are propitious: therefore he says, “Ye are grateful;” and 'the subduers of Vritra' he says because they did slay Vritra;—“the beneficent wives of the immortal (Soma);” for the waters are immortal;—“Ye goddesses, lead this sacrifice to the gods!” there is nothing obscure in this; 'Invited, drink ye of Soma!' Thus invited they drink the first draught of king Soma.
