2. He spake to the gods, “With you I will free all these beings from evil, from death!”—“What will accrue unto us therefrom?”—“Choose ye!” said he.—“Let there be a share for us!” said some to him. “Let lordship be unto us!” said others. Having bestowed a share on some, and lordship on others, he freed all beings from evil, from death; and inasmuch as he freed (spri) them, therefore (those bricks are called) “Spritah.” And in like manner does this Sacrificer, by bestowing a share on some, and lordship on others, now free all beings from evil, from death; and hence (the word) “spritam (freed)” recurs with all of them.
