2. Were the Udgatri to chant the Udgitha, it would be even as if one who does not know the country were to lead by another (than the right) way. But if, setting aside the Udgatri, he chooses the horse for (performing) the Udgitha, it is just as when one who knows the country leads on the right way: the horse leads the Sacrificer rightly to the heavenly world. It makes 'Hiṅ,' and thereby makes the. Saman itself to be 'hiṅ': this is the Udgitha. They pen up mares, (and on seeing the horse) they utter a shrill sound: as when the chanters sing, such like is this. The priests’ fee is gold weighing a hundred (grains): the mystic import of this has been explained.
