25. And whatever (gift) people offer to him, thereon he (the Adhvaryu) makes him pronounce the text, “Bestow this much, O Soma, bring more!” for Soma indeed it is that appropriates for the consecrated whatever people offer to him: when he says, “Bestow this much, O Soma,” he means to say, “Bestow this much on us, O Soma;” and by 'Bring more,' he means to say, “Fetch more for us!”—“The divine Savitri, the bestower of wealth, hath bestowed wealth on us;” whereby that (gift) comes to be impelled by Savitri with a view to (further) gifts.
