Having approached, he moves that which is fit for the ritual; straightway born, he is joined with rites. He seeks the peaceful, he rejoices; if they go to the delightful shore he takes his place among them.
When (the priest) proceeds to effect his development, he is (at once) manifested; and as soon as engendered, is associated with his objects; he provides for the gratification (of his worshipper), plural cidly engaged in the agreeable (rite), when the (oblations) that desire (his acceptance) reach him present (at the sacrifice).
Whate'er he meets he grasps and then runs farther on, and straightway, newly born,creeps forward with his kin. He stirs the wearied man to pleasure and great joy what time the longing gifts approach him as he comes.
