Preview of English translation:
6. “Such sacrifices he offered,—such gifts he gave!” such (are the topics about which) the Brahmana sings; for to the Brahmana belongs the fulfilment of wishes: it is with the fulfilment of wishes he (the Brahmana) thus endows him (the Sacrificer). “Such war he waged,—such battle he won!” such (are the topics about which) the Rajanya sings; for the battle is the Rajanya’s strength: it is with strength he thus endows him. Three stanzas the one sings, and three stanzas the other, they amount to six,—six seasons make up a year: he thus establishes (the Sacrificer) in the seasons, in the year. To both of them he presents a hundred; for man has a life of a hundred (years), and a hundred energies: it is vitality and energy, vital power, he confers upon him.
