So then, to the houses of whatever king a thus-knowing Vrātya may come as guest,—
He should esteem him better than himself; so does he not offend (ā-vraçc) against dominion; so does he not offend against royalty.
Thence verily arose both sanctity (bráhman) and dominion; they said: Whom shall we enter?
Let sanctity enter Brihaspati [and] dominion Indra; thus verily: it was said (íti).
Thence (átas) verily sanctity entered Brihaspati [and] dominion Indra.
This earth verily is Prajāpati, the sky is Indra.
This fire verily is sanctity, yonder Āditya is dominion.
To him comes sanctity, he becomes possessed of the splendor of sanctity (brahmavarcasín),—
Who knows earth as Brihaspati, fire as sanctity.
To him comes Indra's quality, he becomes possessed of Indra's quality,—
Who knows Āditya as dominion, the sky as Indra.
