They sang their song, prepared to free the cattle: they found the light; with holy hymns they worshipped.\n\np: Eager, with thought intent upon the booty, the men with their celestial speech threw open, the solid mountain firm, compact, enclosing, confining Cows, the stable full of cattle.\n\np: The Milch-cow's earliest name they comprehended: they found the Mother's thrice-seven noblest titles. This the bands knew, and sent forth acclamation:with the Bull's sheen the Red One was apparent.\n\np: The turbid darkness fled, the heaven was sp, endid! up rose the bright beam of celestial Morning. Surya ascended to the wide expanses, beholding deeds of men both good and evil.\n\np: Then, afterwards they looked around, awakened, when first they held that Heaven allotted treasure..
