A white horse is the sacrificial gift; the horse belongs to heaven, for the attainment of the heavenly world. A horse-chariot is the soma-announcer; the maximum [distance] is a yojana. For a yojana is the lowest among the highest distances, or the highest among the lowest. In it a waterskin of curds is placed. Whatever clarified butter collects from it, they pour into the butter pot; for it is as if produced that very day. The priests are stationed at two krośas here, at two krośas there. They, approaching in the morning, sacrifice for him. Offering, he closes his eyes three times, and looks three times; those are the consecrations and Upasads.
