Preview of English translation:
14. And on the morrow there are Agni’s cake and Mitra and Varuna’s curds. Now Agni’s cake is (offered) for the sole purpose that it should not forsake the sacrifice and that dish of curds (payasya) is to him the same as that barren cow, the anubandhya, which has to be slaughtered for Mitra and Varuna (at the Soma-sacrifice): thus. by performing the full and new-moon offering one gains as much as is gained by performing a Soma-sacrifice; and that (offering) is indeed a great sacrifice.
