What happens in this chapter
Shake Down the Foe's Strength
Uchathya Angirasa's third gayatri sukta. Heavenly Soma, of lasting wealth, is asked to bring strength with his juice as he flows onto the filter. Dear one, with a thousand streams he is to go along his ancient paths through the fleece. Like a cauldron, Indu is to shake out his gift; with weapons, he is to shake the one who wields weapons. Then comes a plea: bring down the force of the men who threaten us. With a hundred or a thousand of his pure helps, let Soma flow and grant wealth.
