19. Then on the right side (the head of) the bull, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 43), “The imperishable, red drop,” the drop doubtless is Soma; and that bull is the same as the imperishable Soma;—“the eager one (bhuranyu),” that is, the bearer (bhartri);—“Agni, the forward-striving, I glorify with homages;” for the bull is sacred to Agni; and 'the forward-striving,' he says, because forward (towards the east) they hold up Agni, and towards the front they attend upon him;—“duly fitting thyself by limbs,” when he is built up, then he does indeed duly fit himself limb by limb;—“harm not the inexhaustible, wide-ruling cow,” the cow is indeed wide-ruling (viraj), and the wide-ruling is food, and accordingly the cow is food.
