Hail!'
8. [The second with Vâg. S. VIII, 16], 'With lustre, with sap, with bodies,'- 'with lustre :' him who was emptied he thereby fills with lustre ; 'with sap,'-sap is vigour-him who was emptied he thus fills with sap;--'We have united, with the happy spirit: may Tvashtri, the dispenser of boons, grant us riches, and may he smooth what was injured in our body!' Thus they heal what was torn.
9. [The third with Vâg. S. VIII, 17; Atharva-veda VII, 17, 4], 'May the gracious Dhâtri, Savitri, Pragâpati, the guardian of treasures, and the divine Agni accept this (offering); and Tvashtri and Vishnu: grant ye willingly to the sacrificer wealth together with children! Hail!' Him who was emptied he fills again, when he says, 'grant ye wealth to the sacrificer, Hail!'
