4. Then the Dronakalasha with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VII, 29), “Who (ka) art thou? Which one art thou?”—Ka is Prajapati;—“Whose (kasya, or Ka”s) art thou? who (ka) art thou by name?'—Ka [“who”] by name is Prajapati;—“Thou upon whose name we have thought,” for he indeed thinks upon his name;—“Thou whom we have gladdened with Soma;”—for he indeed gladdens him with Soma. Having drawn the Ashvina cup, he prays for blessing part after part (of the sacrifice) with, “May I be abundantly supplied with offspring,” thereby he prays for offspring;—“abundantly supplied with men,” thereby he prays for men (heroes);—“abundantly supplied with food!” thereby he prays for prosperity.
