6. While they go there, he (the Adhvaryu) makes (the sacrificer) say the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 24), “Say thou, for me, unto Soma, "This is thy gayatri-part (bhaga)!" Say thou, for me, unto Soma, "This is thy trishtubh-part!" Say thou, for me, unto Soma, "This is thy jayati-part!" Say thou, for me, unto Soma, "Obtain thou the supreme sovereignty of the names of metres!"” Now, when he (king Soma) is bought, he is bought for one (destination)—for the sovereignty of the metres, for the supreme sovereignty of the metres; and when they press him, they slay him: hereby now he says to him, “It is for the sovereignty of the metres, for the supreme sovereignty of the metres that I buy thee, not for slaying thee.” Having gone there, he sits down (behind the Soma) with his face towards the east.
