4.34.1
ब्रह्मास्य शीर्षं बृहदस्य पृष्ठं वामदेव्यमुदरमोदनस्य ।
छन्दांसि पक्षौ मुखमस्य सत्यं विष्टारी जातस्तपसोऽधि यज्ञः ॥ ४.३४.१ ॥
Its head is Brahman, its back is the Bṛhat; the belly of the odana is the Vāmadevya. The metres are its two wings, truth its mouth; the expanded one, the sacrifice born from austerity.
4.34.2
अनस्थाः पूताः पवनेन शुद्धाः शुचयः शुचिमपि यन्ति लोकम् ।
नैषां शिश्नं प्र दहति जातवेदाः स्वर्गे लोके बहु स्त्रैणमेषाम् ॥ ४.३४.२ ॥
Boneless, purified, cleansed by the wind, the pure ones go even to the pure world. Jātavedas Agni does not burn their organ; in the heavenly world there is much womanly delight for them.
4.34.3
विष्टारिणमोदनं ये पचन्ति नैनान् अवर्तिः सचते कदा चन ।
आस्ते यम उप याति देवान्त्सं गन्धर्वैर्मदते सोम्येभिः ॥ ४.३४.३ ॥
Those who cook the expanded odana, misfortune never seizes them. Yama stays near them, goes to the gods, and rejoices together with the Gandharvas who belong to Soma.
4.34.4
विष्टारिणमोदनं ये पचन्ति नैनान् यमः परि मुष्णाति रेतः ।
रथी ह भूत्वा रथयान ईयते पक्षी ह भूत्वाति दिवः समेति ॥ ४.३४.४ ॥
Those who cook the expanded odana, Yama does not steal their seed. Becoming charioteers, they travel by chariot; becoming birds, they go beyond heaven and join together.
4.34.5
एष यज्ञानां विततो वहिष्ठो विष्टारिणं पक्त्वा दिवमा विवेश ।
आण्डीकं कुमुदं सं तनोति बिसं शालूकं शफको मुलाली ।
एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः ॥ ४.३४.५ ॥
This wide, most burden-bearing Agni, having cooked the spread-out rice (viṣṭārin), has entered heaven. He spreads out the āṇḍīka, kumuda, bisa, śālūka, śaphaka and mulālī. May all these streams come to you; full of sweetness in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds on every side stand near you.
4.34.6
घृतह्रदा मधुकूलाः सुरोदकाः क्षीरेण पूर्णा उदकेन दध्ना ।
एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः ॥ ४.३४.६ ॥
Lakes of ghee, banks of honey, having fragrant water, full of milk, water and curds. May all these streams come to you; full of sweetness in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds on every side stand near you.
4.34.7
चतुरः कुम्भांश्चतुर्धा ददामि क्षीरेण पूर्नामुदकेन दध्ना ।
एतास्त्वा धारा उप यन्तु सर्वाः स्वर्गे लोके मधुमत्पिन्वमाना उप त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्करिणीः समन्ताः ॥ ४.३४.७ ॥
I give four pots in four ways, full of milk, water and curds. May all these streams come to you; full of sweetness in the heavenly world, may the lotus-ponds on every side stand near you.
4.34.8
इममोदनं नि दधे ब्राह्मणेषु विष्टारिणं लोकजितं स्वर्गम् ।
स मे मा क्षेष्ट स्वधया पिन्वमानो विश्वरूपा धेनुः कामदुघा मे अस्तु ॥ ४.३४.८ ॥
I place this boiled rice among the brahmins: it pervades, conquers the worlds, it is heaven. May it not fail me, swelling with its own svadhā; may it be for me the all-formed cow who milks desires.
