Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. And he brings unto me in order the Soma-filled Six just as the plougher with the bulls for grain.

Commentary

uto and also (uta from u, substitute same as u); saḥ Pushan; mahyam for the sacrificer; indubhiḥ (und to moisten, already said) with the Soma juices; yuktan united; șaț the six, excluding the earth from the seven stations, earth, etc. it becomes six-the glories of the six stationed above in me the sacrificer on earth; anuseșidhat effecting in due order (the root șidh meaning movement with prefix anu; reduplication. This is not a verb, but present participle, num is prohibited) he is; illustration : na in simile, just as the plougher; gobhiḥ with bulls; yavam for grain (the word yava denotes by indication grain); carkrșat ploughs again and again, even so.

carkrșt : krs to drag with a plough, reduplication, Vedic present, the sense is present.

This is the greatness of Pushan; he brings the Soma nectar—the food of the Gods-stolen and concealed by the dark enemies of the Gods, nourishes the sacrificer, attains again and again to the glories of the upper worlds, full of Soma, plane by plane and renders him full of Soma.

Thus ends the tenth Group in the second Chapter of the first Eighth.
