सप्तास्यासन्परिधयः त्रिः सप्त समिधः कृताः
देवा यद्यज्ञं तन्वानाः अबध्नन्पुरुषं पशुम्
Saptasyasanparidhayah Trih Sapta Samidhah Kritah
Deva Yadyajnam Tanvanah Abadhnanpurusham Pashum
Seven were its enclosing sticks, and thrice seven were the fuel-sticks made,
When the Devas, extending the sacrifice, bound Purusha as the sacred victim.
