Preview of English translation:
18. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XVI, 17], “Reverence be to the golden-armed leader of hosts, and to the lord of regions be reverence!” for he (Rudra-Agni) is indeed the golden-armed leader of hosts, and the lord of regions. And in that everything in this second chapter of formulas applies to one and the same deity, thereby he gratifies that (god Rudra), and makes the chief to have a share in the people (or the clan): hence whatever belongs to the people, in that the chieftain has a share. And those (Rudras) that spread over these worlds, countless, by thousands, they are the deities to whom he now offers.
