Preview of English translation:
2. Now he who was that Prajapati is this very Agni (the fire-altar) that is now being built up; and that food is these Chandasya (bricks); and that essence of food is these Stomabhagas; and he who was Indra is yonder Aditya (the sun): he indeed is the Stoma (hymn of praise), for whatsoever praises they sing, it is him they praise thereby,—it is to that same Stoma he gave a share; and inasmuch as he gave a share (bhaga) to that Stoma, these are (called) Stomabhagas.
