xviii. 4- 1. Ascend to [your] generatrix, ye Jātavedases; by [roads] that the Fathers travel I make you ascend together; the offering-carrier, sent out, hath carried the offerings; united (yuktá), set ye him who hath sacrificed in the world of the well-doing.

2. The gods, the seasons, arrange the sacrifice, the oblation, the sacrificial cake, the ladles (srúc), the implements (-ā́yudha) of sacrifice; with them go thou by roads that the gods travel, by which they that have sacrificed go to the heavenly (svargá) world.

3. Look thou happily (sādhú) along the road of righteousness, by which go the An̄girases, well-doers; by those roads go thou to heaven (svargá), where the Ādityas feed on honey; spread thou out upon the third firmament.

4. Three eagles (suparṇá)...upon the back of the firmament (nā́ka), at the summit (? viṣṭáp) are set (çritá); let the heavenly (svargá) worlds, filled (?) with amṛ́ta, yield (duh) food, refreshment to the sacrificer.
