Traducción
He who thus knows this rājana woven into the deities goes to one world, one might and one union with these deities, attains the full span of life, lives in brightness, is great in offspring and cattle, great in fame. Let him not revile brāhmaṇas: that is the vow.

The fruit of the royal sāman is a threefold participation: sālokatām — co-worldliness (to dwell in their world), sārṣṭitām — co-might (to act by their power), sāyujyam — co-union (to be in harness with them, yuj!): three degrees of nearness to the deities — the classic ladder of participation (the bhakti tradition will keep these terms: sālokya, sārṣṭi, sāyujya, kinds of liberation!).
The vow is unexpected and exact: brāhmaṇān na nindet — "let him not revile brāhmaṇas": the earthly bearers of the sacred are beats of the same rājana: to revile a priest is a false note in the royal sāman: the road to the gods is closed to one who despises the godly on earth. He who honours the concord honours all its performers, heavenly and human alike.
