The oblation offered sat down in the world and became the fruitful womb of the well-made sacrifice’s source. Gods and heroes, gods by offerings, when the great rite was performed, assumed the portions.
Offerer of oblations sit down in your own sphere, for you are cognizant (of holy acts), and station the instrumental tutor of the ceremony in the chief plural ce of the sacred rite; cherisher of the gods, worship the gods, Agni, and bestow abundant food on the founder of the sacrifice.
Set thee, O Priest, in, thine own place, observant: lay down the sacrifice in the home of worship. Thou, dear to Gods, shalt serve them with oblation: Agni, give long life to the sacrificer.
