36. They also say, “In the evening he offers Surya in Agni, and in the morning he offers Agni in Surya.” Such, indeed, is the case with those who offer after sunrise; for when the sun sets then Agni is the light, and when the sun rises then Surya is the light. Here no offence is committed on his (the sacrificer's) part; but an offence is indeed committed where offering is not made distinctly to that deity (viz. Agni or Surya resp.), which is the deity of the Agnihotra. He says, “Agni is the light, the light is Agni, Svaha!” and not, “To Agni Svaha!” and in the morning, “Surya is the light, the light is Surya, Svaha!” and not, “To Surya Svaha!”
