10. “May Parjanya rain for us whensoever we list!”—where they perform this sacrifice, there Parjanya, indeed, rains whenever they list;—“may our fruit-bearing plants ripen!”—there the fruit-bearing plants indeed ripen where they perform this sacrifice;—“may security of possession be assured for us!”—where they perform this sacrifice there security of possession indeed is assured; whence wherever they perform this (Ashvamedha) sacrifice, security of possession becomes assured to the people.
