Preview of English translation:

1. Prajapati poured forth the life-sap of the horse (ashva-medha); when poured forth it went from him. Having become fivefold it entered the year, and they (the five parts) became those half-months. He followed it up by means of the fifteenfold (sets of victims), and found it; and having found it, he took possession of it by means of the fifteenfold ones; for, indeed, they—to wit, the fifteenfold (sets)—are a symbol of the half-months, and when he seizes the fifteenfold ones, it is the half-months the Sacrificer thereby takes possession of.
