851 tataḥ praçāntaḥ salilapravāhataḥ; and a note to the P. C. Roy version of this passage, p. 65, says that it persists even to this day in India.⌋

7. Here is one for thee, beyond is one for thee; enter thou into union with the third light; at entrance be thou fair (cā́ru) with [thy] body, loved of the gods in the highest station.

8. Rise thou, go forth, run forth; make thee a home (ókas) in the sea [as] station; there do thou, in concord with the Fathers, revel with soma, with the svadhā́s.

9. Start (cyu) forward, collect (sam-bhṛ) thy body; let not thy limbs (gā́tra) nor thy frame (çárīra) be left out; enter together after thy mind that has entered; wherever in the world thou enjoyest, thither go.

10. Let the soma-drinking (somyá) Fathers anoint me with splendor, the gods with honey, with ghee; making me pass further on unto sight, let them increase me, attaining old age, unto old age.
