22. Now some offer these Audgrabhana libations into the fire-pan itself, saying, “These, surely, are offered for (special) objects of desire, and that fire-pan is the Sacrificer’s self: we thus secure for the Sacrificer’s self all his objects of desire.” Let him not do so; for the fire which is kindled (in the fire-pan) is the essence of the completed sacrifice and of those libations, and when he puts the fire-pan on the fire, after the sacrifice has been completed and the Audgrabhanas offered, then the sacrifice mounts it (the pan), and it bears the sacrifice: let him, therefore, put the fire-pan on the fire only after the sacrifice is complete, and the Audgrabhanas have been offered.
