Preview of English translation:
41. The karshmarya one he lays down on the right side, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 13), “By Agni’s fiery spirit I settle thee!”—that fiery spirit of his (Prajapati's) which Agni then took and carried off to the south, he now puts back into him.—“Agni, the head, the summit of the sky, he, the lord of the earth, animates the seeds of the waters,” for Agni indeed is this (spoon). With a Gayatri verse (he performs),—Agni is Gayatra: as great as Agni is, as great as is his measure, with so much he thus lays down that (spoon). It is filled with ghee, for ghee belongs to Agni: with his own share, with his own life-sap he thus gratifies him.
