3. He spreads a tiger-skin in front of the Maitravaruna’s hearth, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita X, 5), “Thou art Soma’s beauty.” For because when Soma flowed through Indra he (Indra) thereupon became a tiger, therefore he is Soma’s beauty: this is why he says, “Thou art Soma’s splendour;”—“may my beauty become like unto thine!” He thus bestows the tiger’s beauty on him: therefore he says, “May my beauty become like unto thine!”
