atha ye ’sya dakṣiṇā raśmayas tā evāsya dakṣiṇā madhunāḍyaḥ |
yajūṃṣy eva madhukṛtaḥ |
yajurveda eva puṣpam |
tā amṛtā āpaḥ ||

1. SECOND KHANDA
The southern rays of the sun are the honeycells on the right. The Yagus verses are the bees, the Yagur-veda sacrifice is the flower, the water (of the sacrificial libations) is the nectar (of the flower).

atha ye ’sya dakṣiṇā raśmaya ityādi samānam | yajūṃ#yeva madhukṛto yajurvedavihite karmaṇi prayuktāni | pūrvavanmadhukṛta iva | yajurvedavihitaṃ karma puṣpasthānīyaṃ puṣpamityucyate | tā eva somādyā amṛtā āpaḥ || 1 ||

tāni vā etāni yajūṃṣy etaṃ yajurvedam abhyatapan |
tasya abhitaptasya yaśas teja indriyaṃ vīryam annādyaṃ raso ’jāyata ||

2. Those very Yagus verses (as bees) brooded over the Yagur-veda sacrifice (the flower); and from it, thus brooded on, sprang as its (nectar) essence, fame, glory of countenance, vigour, strength, and health.

tad vyakṣarat |
tad ādityam abhito ’śrayat |
tad vā etad yad etad ādityasya śuklaṃ rūpam ||

3. That flowed forth and went towards the sun. And that forms what we call the white (sukla) light of the sun.
