Meaning -
O strong man, like the twenty-four syllables of the Gayatri metre, observe thou celibacy for twenty-four years ; like forty-four syllables of Trishtup metre, observe thou celibacy for forty-four years. I grasp thee dear wife beautified by the Sun and Earth, and accept thee who takes vow with water in hand. O husband and wife behave mutually like Pran and Apan to accomplish your tasks. O Vasus, protect nicely the sacrifice and the sweet honey prepared by the bees. Work together well and nobly to make suns beams bring rain.
-
Who takes vow ; -At the time of marriage, with water in hand, husband and wife take some vows. Pran and Apan : Just, as in-going and out-going breaths are inseparable from each other, so should the husband and wife work mutually to accomplish their domestic tasks. Vasus : -Those who have observed celibacy for 24 yean, at the time they taste Madhuparka. Suns beams : They should perform Agnihotra daily, which brings timely rain,
