Translation
This is the girdle of truth, worn by the sages of the earliest ages in the sacrifices. She, the same, has appeared again at this sacrifice of ours resounding the hymn of truth and knowledge. (1)
Note
According to the ritualists, a thirteen ells long rope is tied around the belly of the sacrificial horse while reciting this verse. Though the word raśanam ṛtasya is there, still the verse has nothing to do with any rope or girdle of the material world. Agrbhnan, for अगृह्णन्, had taken up; had worn. Rtasya, of truth; of the eternal law. Kavyāḥ, कवय:, sages with foresight. Purva ayuşi,यज्ञस्य प्रारम्भे, in the beginning of the sacri fice. Also, at an early age. Or, in ancient times. Saram, ज्ञानं, knowledge. Sute, यज्ञे, in the sacrifice.
