By this, &c. Vasisht'ha consecrated Sudas, 

 son of PijAVANA ; andj therefore, &c. 



By this, &c. Samvarta, son of Angiras, con- 

 secrated Marutta, son of Avicshit; and, thcre-^

On that subject this verse is every where clianted, 

 " The divine Maruts dwelt in the house of Ma- 

 RUTTA, as his guards ; and all the gods were coiri- 

 panions of the son of Avicshit, whose every wish 

 was fulfilled*." 



§ VIII. ' By this great inauguration similar to 

 Indra's, Udamaya, son of Atri, consecrated 

 Anga ; and, therefore, did Anga subdue the 

 earth completely all around, and traverse it every 

 way, and perform a sacrifice with a horse as an 

 offering. 



' He, perfect in his person, thus addressed [the 

 priest, who was busy on some sacrifice], " Invite 

 me to this solemn rite, and I will give thee [to 

 complete it], holy man ! ten thousand elephants 

 and ten thousand female slaves." 



' On that subject these verses are every where 

 chanted, " Of the cows, for which the sons of 

 Priyame'd'ha assisted Udamaya in the solemn 

 rite, this son of Atri gave them, [every day] at 

 noon, two thousand each, out of a thousand mil- 

 lions. 



*' The son of Viro'chana [Anga] unbound and 

 gave, while his priest performed the solemn sacri- 

 fice, eighty thousand white horses fit for use. 



* All this, observes the comineutator, was owing lo his solemn 

 in^uf^uratipn.
