Preview of English translation:
2. And the course (juh) is this space, to wit, this air, for along this space it (the wind) courses; and the Yajus is both the wind and the air—the 'yat' and the 'juh'—whence (the name) Yajus. And the 'yat' (that which goes) is this (Adhvaiyu), for when he 'goes' on (performing), the Ric and Saman carry that Yajus established on the Ric and Saman. Hence the Adhvaryu performs his work with the very same Grahas (cups of Soma), (while) there are each time different stotras (chants) and shastras (recitations): it is just as if, after driving with a first pair (of horses), one drives with a second pair.
