What is the expiation? With whatever remains in the offering-ladle, with that he should offer. But if the offering-ladle should turn downwards or break, what is the action in that case? What is the expiation? The touching \[of the ladle\] has already been stated for it. And on that point some go back right from there and draw \[the milk\] again. One should not do it in that way. If someone there should say: 'Because he turned back from what he wished to do with this fire-offering, therefore this will not lead to heaven for him,' it would surely be so. One should do it in this way only: right where it spills, there he should sit down. Then they should bring the pot to him, having rinsed the dipping-spoon and the offering-ladle. Thus it is said: 'I shall draw \[it\] for him right there.' Then, having drawn \[it\] just as it was drawn before, having taken up a piece of firewood, he should proceed forward. Just as one might rise up against enemies and destroy \[them\], exactly so, having struck down misfortune \[and\] evil, he attains the oblation. And on that point some take objection, saying: 'Un-offered is \[the fire-offering\] of him with whose fire-offering residue they offer, for this is exhausted.' One should not know it so. When indeed this is not exhausted, then they make a sacrificial offering \[and\] a curdling agent of it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.54.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.54.p1) tadāhuryadetasya dīrghasattriṇo'gnihotraṃ juhvato'gnihotraṃ duhyamānamamedhyamāpadyeta > Regarding this they say: If, while this performer of a long sacrificial session is offering the fire-offering, the fire-offering \[milk\] being milked should become impure, > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [1.54.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.1.54.p2) kiṃ tatra karma kā prāyaścittiriti > what is the action in that case?
