7 All things are murderous
When you come to your Time
8 Long did your every gain
Come at hardship's price
9 Disaster deafens you
To questions that I cry
10 I must steel myself for you
Will never again reply
11 Would that my heart could face
Your death for a moment's time
12 Would that the Fates had spared
Your life instead of mine

It is impossible to adapt the
later sacrificial theory, as it appears in the next period, to the Rigvedic texts,
and it is clear that at this time the sacrifice was less elaborate than it
became; but there is abundant proof that already the Soma sacrifice in
particular had been elaborated, and that the labour had been divided
among several priests, the chief being the Hotội who recited the hymns and
in earlier times composed them, the Adhvaryu who performed the manual
actions to the accompaniment of
muttered
prayers and deprecations of evil,
the Udgātņi who sung the Sāman chants, and several assistants, the number
seven being found quite frequently in the Rigveda.

Such ignorance as theirs was who once hiss'd

A
gruesome
man, bald, clad in black,
Who kept us youthful drudges in the track,
Thinking it good for them to leave home care,
And for a while a harsher yoke to bear;
Surrender all the careless ease of home,
And be forbid from schoolyard bounds to roam;
For this with blandest smiles he softly asks
That they with him will prosecute their tasks;
Receives them in his solemn chilly lair,
The rigid lot of discipline to share.
