To accompany the act of shaving

Savitar here hath come with razor; come, O Vāyu, with hot water; let the Ādityas, the Rudras, the Vasus, wet [him] in accordance; do ye, forethoughtful, shave [the head] of king Soma.

Let Aditi shave the beard; let the waters wet [it] with splendor; let Prajāpati nurse (cikits) [it], in order to length of life, to sight.

With what razor the knowing Savitar shaved [the head] of king Soma, of Varuṇa, therewith, ye priests (brahmán), shave [it] now of this man; be he rich in kine, in horses, in progeny.
