Thereupon Indra, greatly pleased, assented, and at that time granted a boon to Atharvāṅgirasa.

“In this Veda the designation Atharvāṅgirasa shall be established; let this indeed stand as the precedent, and you too shall obtain a share of the sacrificial offerings.”

Having honored all the gods and also the seers rich in ascetic discipline, Indra—gladdened, O king—protected the subjects in accordance with dharma.
