Preview of English translation:
16, He then cuts off the Ida, but no fore-portion. Having invoked (the Ida), they (the priests) eat it. As many members of (the sacrificer's) household as are entitled to partake of the remains of sacrificial food may eat (of the pap); or the officiating priests may eat it; or, if there be abundant pap, other Brahmans also may eat of it. The pot having then been covered, before it is quite emptied, they put it away in a safe place, for the 'full-spoon ceremony.' Thereupon they let the calves together with their mothers; and thus the cattle take that nourishment. That night he performs the Agnihotra with rice-gruel. In the morning they milk a cow, which suckles an adopted calf, for the purpose of the offering to the fathers.
