Giving to the hotrakas, he should say: 'O hotrakas, I give you hearing; that I ransom with this. O hotrakas, I give this,' whatever he might give. / When he gives hearing—the directions are indeed hearing—he gives them the directions. / So, as long as the directions do not perish, so long what is given by him does not perish. / Giving to the spectating priests, he should say: 'O spectating priests, I give you body hairs; those I ransom with this. O spectating priests, I give this,' whatever he might give. / When he gives body hairs—plants and trees are indeed body hairs—he gives them plants and trees. / So, as long as plants and trees do not perish, so long what is given by him does not perish. / This is the imperishability of sacrificial and charitable works. / Whoever knows this imperishability of sacrificial and charitable works, his sacrificial and charitable work does not perish. / Regarding this, they also say: 'Speech indeed is the consecrated one, speech is the consecration; speech dwells in all this; in speech all this is settled.' Thus the two conversed about that. / And regarding this, Śāṭyāyani said: 'He should be consecrated with the words: "I am consecrated by Rathantara, I am consecrated by Vāmadevya, I am consecrated by Bṛhat." / Then he should unyoke himself with the words: "I unyoke myself by Bṛhat, I unyoke myself by Vāmadevya, I unyoke myself by Rathantara." / This is the yoking and the unyoking of the consecration. / Whoever knows this yoking and unyoking of the consecration becomes richer indeed.'
