28. He makes the offering, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita II, 21 b), “Ye path-finding gods,”—for the gods are indeed the finders of the path;—“Having found the path—,” thereby he says, “having found the sacrifice;”—“Walk in the path!” thereby he dismisses them in due form;—“O divine Lord of mind, this sacrifice—Svaha!—give to the wind!” for the sacrifice, indeed, is that blowing one (the wind). Having accordingly prepared this (special) sacrifice, he thereby establishes it safely in that (chief, full or new-moon) sacrifice, and thus unites sacrifice with sacrifice: for this reason he says, “Svaha! give (it) to the wind!”
