Meaning :
Some ascetics perform sacrifice by means of meditating upon the Reality (Brahman.) by means of contemplating upon the consciousness of the cow, while others 'Arya' sages born of the Royal race, by means of contemplating upon the consciousness of the horse.
Note :
1 - 'Meditation' in Sanskrit comes from the word 'medhA' / 'medhitA' meaning contemplation.
Shrimadbhagavadgita Chapter 5 shloka 18 also tells about this.

2 - Aitareya- upaniShat also explains how to know Brahman by 'neti-neti' and 'iti-iti' in the  Chapter 1, section 2, mantra 2.
