ii. 26-

1. Hither let the cattle come that went away, whose companionship (sahacārá) Vāyu (the wind) enjoyed, whose form-givings Tvashṭar knows; in this cow-stall let Savitar make them fast (ni-yam).

2. To this cow-stall let cattle flow-together ⌊stream together⌋ (sam-sru); let Brihaspati, foreknowing, lead them hither; let Sinīvālī lead hither the van (ágra) of them; make them fast when they have come, O Anumati.

3. Together, together let cattle flow ⌊stream⌋, together horses, and together men, together the fatness that is of grain; I offer with an oblation of confluence.

4. I pour together the milk (kṣīrá) of kine, together strength, sap, with sacrificial butter; poured together are our heroes; fixed are the kine in me ⌊rather, with me⌋ [as] kine-lord.

5. I bring (ā-hṛ) the milk of kine; I have brought the sap of grain; brought are our heroes, our wives, to this home (ástaka).
