Preview of English translation:
20. He now walks out, covering (the cup with his hand or the sthali); for they (the Adityas) were afraid of the Rakshas. He then says (to the Maitravaruna), “Recite (the invitatory prayer) to the Adityas!” If he likes, he may now enumerate (their qualities); but let him rather enumerate them, after he has called for the Shraushat,—“Prompt (the Hotri to recite the offering prayer) to the Adityas, the beloved, rite-loving, law-loving lords of the great abode, the rulers of the wide air.” He offers, as the Vashat is pronounced. He (the Hotri) pronounces no Anuvashat, lest he should consign the cattle to the fire. The remains (of juice in the sthali and graha) he (the Adhvaryu) hands to the Pratiprasthatri.
