1. That man verily consecrates the oblation for the sacrifice, who brings quickly Mitra and Varuna to the offerer for the attainment of his desires.
Yajurveda, 33,87. Mahldhara differs from Sayana in his explanation, and gives it thus: "Verily that man who worships Mitra and Varuna for the attainment of his desirer aid the giving of oblations, becomes thereby perfectly tranquil and able to perform the sacrifice" (rdhag devatataye).

2.Those two leaders of rites, great in might, far-seeing, resplendent, and most far-hearing, perform their deeds like two arms, by the help of the rays of the sun.
Like two Arms- Sayana adds, as an explanation, "that is, they obtain the sacrifice as the arms accomplish an object."

3. Mitra and Varuna, he who hastens to appear before you, becomes the messenger of the gods; he wears an iron helmet, he exults in his wealth.
An Iron Helmet- Sayana says "golden," as often elsewhere (ayassisa).

5. O you rich in offerings, sing to Mitra, sing to Aryaman, a reverential hymn produced in the sacrificial chamber; sing a propitiating address to Varuna; sing a hymn of praise to the kings.
Samaveda, 255, with varuthye for varathyam.
Produced in the sacrificial Chamber- Sayana explains varuthyam as yajaagrhe bhpvam; the St. Petersb. Dict.gives it as "Schutz gewahrend.”
To the Kings : Sc. Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna

6. It was these who sent the red victory-giving Vasu, the one son of the three; (worlds); they the invincible, the immortal, overlook the abodes of men.
Victory-Giving- Elsewhere Sayana explains jenya when connected with vasu as jetavya, "what is to be conquered or won," cf II.5.1,
VII.74.3; here he takes it actively as jayasadhanam. The St. Petersh. Dict. explains it as "edel von Abkunft, acht, wahr."
Vasu- Sayana by his explanation vasakam seems here to take Vasu as for Vasum, sc. the Sun, as one of the Vasus, as he adds they send him for the dispelling of the darkness of the thIee worlds." But it would be more natural to take it in its ordinary meaning wealth, i.e., gold. "It was these who sent the red gold victory-giving “or” the reward of victory.”

10.The ministrant priest comes by the straightest paths, he beings the oblations for your enjoyment; then lord of the Niyut , steeds, drink of both kinds, the Soma pure and that mixed with milk.
The Priest Comes- i.e., from the havirdhana, a cart for the Soma.

The Slayer of the Asuras- Sayana explains asuryah by asuranam hanta; Mahidhara takes it "beneficent to living beings." The true meaning is no doubt that given in the St. Petersb. Dict."Unkorperlich, geistlich, gottlich."

14. Three kinds of creatures went to destruction; the others came before Agni; the mighty one (the Sun) stood within the worlds; (Vayu), the purifier, entered the quarters of the sky.
This very obscure verse is explained in the Satapatha Brahmana, II.5.1, which gives as legend to the effect that Prajapati desired to create, and after intense meditation produced in succession three kinds of creatures-birds, small snakes (sarisrpa), and serpents; but they all died. He then reflected on the cause of the failure; and, perceiving it to be the want of nourishment, he caused milk to be produced in his own breasts. After this he created a fourth kind which were thus fed and lived. The others are those which thus survived.
The Mighty One- The mighty one is explained as the Sun.
Sayana, however, adds that others (as, e.g. Satapatha Brahmana) take it as Prajapati.

16. The divine cow, who herself utters, speech and gives speech to others, who comes attended by every kind of utterance, who helps me for my worship of the gods,-it is only the fool who abandons her.
Gives speech to others- Sayana adds that men are silent while they are hungry, but begin to speak when they have eaten food.
