4. He takes it, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 24): “At the impulse of the divine Savitri, I take thee with the arms of the Ashvins, with the hands of Pushan; thee that performs sacred rites to the gods!” Savitri, namely, is the impeller of the gods: thus he thereby takes that (wooden sword) as one impelled by Savitri. “With the arms of the Ashvins,” he says, because the Ashvins are the two Adhvaryu priests (of the gods): with their arms he therefore takes it, not with his own. Pushan is distributer of portions (to the gods): with his hands he therefore takes it, not with his own; for it is the thunderbolt, and no man can hold that: he thus takes it with (the assistance of) the gods.
