41. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XI, 11] “Having taken into his hand, Savitri,”—for it has indeed been taken into his (the Adhvaryu's) hand,—“bearing the spade,”—for he indeed bears it,—“the golden,”—for golden indeed is the one that consists of the metres (the Veda);—“beholding Agni’s light,”—that is, seeing Agni’s light,—“lifted it up from the earth,”—for he indeed lifts it up from the earth;—“by the Anushtubh metre, Aṅgiras-like;”—he thus takes it up by means of the Anushtubh metre, and lays the Anushtubh metre into it: for his undertaking that spade of bamboo is thus made to be those metres.
