38. Thereupon the Adhvaryu takes both spoons in his left hand; and taking hold of the Pratiprasthatri’s garment, says (to the Hotri), “Pronounce the invitatory prayer to the Maruts!” The Pratiprasthatri then makes an 'under-layer' of butter (in his juhu and two cuttings from the curds of the Maruts, and with either of the two cuttings puts the ewe (in the spoon). He then pours butter thereon, replenishes (the place of) the two cuttings, and steps across (to the south of the fire). The Adhvaryu, having called for the 'Shraushat,' says (to the Hotri), “Pronounce the offering-prayer to the Maruts!” and on the 'Vashat' being uttered, (the Pratiprasthatri) he pours out the oblation.
