10. [The fourth with Vajasaneyi Samhita VIII, 18], “Accessible homes have we prepared for you, O gods, who graciously came to this Soma feast;”—whereby he means to say, “seats easy of access we have prepared for you, O gods, who have graciously come to this Soma feast;”—“Carrying and driving the offerings,” thereby he dismisses the several deities; 'Those forsooth who are without cars may go away carrying; and those who have cars may go away driving,' this is what he means to say; therefore he says, “Carrying and driving the offerings;”—“bestow goods on him, ye good! Hail!”
