What happens in this chapter

Dvita's speech raised like a wage

Dvita Aptya gives six ushnik verses to Soma Pavamana. Speech is raised to the purifying ordainer and offered like a wage, and he takes delight in the thoughts. Anointed with milk, he passes the woollen fleece and makes for himself three seats. He flows to the honey-dripping vessel, and the seven voices of the rishis cry out to him. Leader of thoughts, belonging to all the devas, never deceived, the tawny one enters the two bowls. He is asked to ride with Indra in one chariot. Like a racing steed eager for the prize, the deva pressed for the devas runs wide as he is purified.
