The in-breath and out-breath say to him: 'May your faith not depart; satisfied with all desires, attain the heavenly world!' Now, that he consumes a second time, through that the up-breath and out-breath are satisfied. The up-breath and out-breath say to him: 'May your faith not depart; satisfied with all desires, attain the heavenly world!' Now, that he consumes with the ladle, through that he pleases the unified breath, the diffuse breath, and embryos. The unified breath, the diffuse breath, and embryos say to him: 'May your faith not depart; satisfied with all desires, attain the heavenly world!'

Now, that he pours out the washings of the ladle, through that he pleases the birds. The birds say to him: 'May your faith not depart; satisfied with all desires, attain the heavenly world!'
