This verse is not included in this edition.

Extolling a certain rice-mess offering

The bráhman [is] its head, the bṛhát its back, the vāmadevyá the belly of the rice-mess; the meters [are] the (two) sides (wings ?), truth its mouth; the viṣṭārín [is] a sacrifice born out of fervor (tápas).

Boneless, purified, cleansed with the purifier, bright (çúci), they go to a bright world; Jātavedas burns not away their virile member; in the heavenly (svargá) world much women-folk is theirs.

Whoso cook the viṣṭārín rice-mess, ruin (ávarti) fastens not on them at any time; [such a one] stays (as) with Yama, goes to the gods, revels with the soma-drinking (somyá) Gandharvas.

Whoso cook the viṣṭārín rice-mess, them Yama robs not of their seed; becoming chariot-owner, [such a one] goes about upon a chariot-road; becoming winged, he goes all across the skies.

This, extended, is of sacrifices the best carrier; having cooked the viṣṭārín, one has entered the sky; the bulb-bearing lotus spreads (sam-tam), the bísa, çālū́ka, çáphaka, mulālī́: let all these streams (dhā́rā) come unto thee, swelling honeyedly in the heavenly (svargá) world; let complete (sámanta) lotus-ponds approach thee.

Four vessels (kumbhá), four-fold, I give, filled with milk, with water, with curds—let all these etc. etc.

imam odanaṃ ni dadhe brāhmaṇeṣu viṣṭāriṇaṃ lokajitaṃ svargam sa me mā kṣeṣṭa svadhayā pinvamāno viśvarūpā dhenuḥ kāmadughā me astu

This rice-mess I deposit in the Brāhmans, the viṣṭārín, world-conquering, heaven-going (svargá); let it not be destroyed (kṣi) for me, swelling with svadhā́; be it a cow of all forms, milking my desire.
