Preview of English translation:
4. Then, in the first place, there are those five (regular) oblations. By means of these oblations, indeed, Prajapati produced creatures; with them he delivered the creatures both ways from Varuna’s noose; with them the gods slew Vritra and gained that victory which was gained by them. And so does he, by means of them, obtain and make his own, both that prosperity which accrued to the gods from performing the Sakamedha offerings, and that essence of the year which was gained by them. This is why those five oblations are (offered).
