13. The ruddy one is generator and mouth of the sacrifice; to the ruddy one I make oblation with speech, with hearing, with mind; to the ruddy one go the gods with favoring mind; let him cause me to ascend with ascensions (róha) of meeting (sāmityá).

15. Unto thee ascended bṛhatī́ and pan̄ktí, unto [thee], O Jātavedas, kakúbh with honor; unto thee ascended the uṣṇíhā syllable, the váṣaṭ-utterance; unto thee ascended the ruddy one along with seed.

16. This one clothes himself in the embryo (womb?) of the earth; this one clothes himself in the sky, the atmosphere; this one, on the summit of the reddish one, has penetrated the heaven (svàr), the worlds.
