He now draws it from that (stream of Soma) with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VII, 19; Rig-veda I, 139, 11), “Ye Gods, who are eleven in heaven, who are eleven on earth, and who are eleven dwelling in glory in the (aerial) waters: do ye graciously accept this sacrifice!—Thou art taken with a support: thou art Agrayana, a good firstling (sv-agrayana)!” Hereby he makes that speech of renewed vigour; whence he speaks therewith in a different way, while yet the same, in order to avoid sameness; for were he to take it with, “Thou art Agrayana, thou art Agrayana,” he would commit (the fault of) sameness: therefore he says, “Thou art Agrayana, a good agrayana.”
