अर्थMeaning
जैसे जल में मछली को जाल से पकड़ लिया जाता है, वैसे ही मृत्यु ने ऋक्, साम और यजुष् में भी उन्हें देख लिया। यह जानकर देवता ऋक्, साम, यजुष् से ऊपर उठकर 'स्वर' (ओंकार) में प्रविष्ट हो गए।

Then, as a fisherman might observe a fish in the water, Death observed the Devas in the Rik, Yagus, and Sâman-(sacrifices). And the Devas seeing this, rose from the Rik, Yagus, and Sâman-sacrifices, and entered the Svara , i.e. the Om (they meditated on the Om).
