439 pada-mss. (with the doubtful exception of D.) read here hin̄kṛ-, without division; at ix. 10. 5 they agree with RV. The verse accompanies, says the comm., the coming up of the cow for milking.

9. As enjoyable (júṣṭa) household guest in our home (duroṇá), do thou come, knowing, unto this our sacrifice; smiting away, O Agni, all assaulters (abhiyúj), do thou bring in the enjoyments of them that play the foe.

10. O Agni, be bold unto great good-fortune; let thy brightnesses (dyumná) be highest; put together a well-ordered house-headship; trample on the greatnesses of them that play the foe.

11. Mayest thou ⌊verily⌋ be well-portioned, feeding in excellent meadows; so also may we be well-portioned; eat thou grass, O inviolable one, at all times; drink clear water, moving hither.
