19. For this (sacrifice) there are fifteen kindling-verses: he offers to the deities in a low voice. There are five fore-offerings, three after-offerings, and one Samishtayajus. The (formulas of the) two butter-portions contain the word 'affluence':—(Rig-veda S. I, 1, 3), “Through Agni may he obtain wealth and affluence day by day, famous and abounding in heroes;”—(Rig-veda S. I, 91, 12), “An increaser of the house, a remover of trouble, a procurer of wealth, an augmenter of affluence, a kind friend he thou unto us, O Soma!” The two formulas of the Svishtakrit contain the word 'thousand':—(Rig-veda S. III, 13, 7), “Grant thou unto us wealth, a thousandfold, with offspring and affluence, and glorious manhood, O Agni, most excellent and never failing!”—(Rig-veda S. III, 13, 6), “Favour thou our prayer, as the best invoker of the gods for our hymns: blaze up auspiciously for us, wind-fanned, O Agni, the dispenser of a thousand bounties!”
