译文
They said: "Where was he, then, who stood by us thus?" — "Here he is, within the mouth." He is Ayāsya Āṅgirasa, for he is the sap of the limbs (aṅgānāṁ rasaḥ).

The victor is nameless and hidden: the gods themselves ask "where was" their defender, and find him "within the mouth" — nearer than near. The saving power was sought outside and was breathing in their own mouths: the oldest of lessons that the deliverer is always closer than expected.
He is given names by etymology: Ayāsya, "of the mouth" (from āsya, mouth), and Āṅgirasa, "the sap of the limbs" (aṅgānāṁ rasaḥ): the prāṇa is rasa, the living sweetness of every limb, that which makes a hand a living hand and not a dead one. So the family name of the great Āṅgirasa ṛṣis is traced back to breath: the singers of the Veda are "the saps of the limbs" of the universe. The word rasa here is dear to a bhakti ear: the life in a body is a taste; and the Taste of all tastes, raso vai saḥ, stands behind every prāṇa as spring stands behind the sap.
