329 They read, in c, d, yaména tváṁ yamyā́ (TS.MS. -yā́) saṁvidānó ’ttamé (TS. -mám) nā́ke (TS. -kam) ádhi rohayāi ’nam (TS. -ye ’mám). Ppp., as noticed above, has c, d of this verse as 2 c, d, reading -dāno ’ttame nāke (like V.S.MS.). The last pāda is found also as that of i. 9. 2, 4; xi. 1. 4. With the contraction bedhiṣe ’ha, the verse would be a good triṣṭubh. ⌊The vs. recurs at vi. 84. 4.⌋

4. Thou collectest together for thyself, O Agni, bull, all things from the foe (?); thou art kindled in the track of sacrifice (íḍ); do thou bring to us good things.

1. Do ye concur; be ye closely combined; let your minds be concurrent, as the gods of old sat concurrent about their portion.

2. [Be] their counsel (mántra) the same, their gathering the same, their course (vratá) the same, their intent alike (sahá); I offer for you with the same oblation; do ye enter together into the same thought (cétas).
