vii. 74- 

1. Of the red apacít's black is the mother, so have we heard; by the root of the divine anchoret I pierce them all.

2. I pierce the first of them; I pierce also the midmost; now the hinder one of them I cut into like a tuft (stúkā).

3. With the spell (vácas) of Tvashṭar have I confounded thy jealousy; also the fury that is thine, O master (páti), that do we appease for thee.

4. Do thou, O lord of vows, adorned by the vow, shine here always, well-willing; thee being so kindled, O Jātavedas, may we all, rich in progeny, wait upon (upa-sad).
