The hotṛ invokes a blessing for the sacrificer on the earlier days; the udgātṛ on this \[day\]. Whoever invokes a blessing with the sāman, his \[life/wealth\] is, as it were, diminished. In that there is: “O Agni, in your friendship may we not suffer harm; O Agni, in your friendship may we not suffer harm,” they thereby perform a remedy, an expiation. Thus his is not diminished. They place the refrain at the end. The sixth day is sap, to prevent its overflowing. Just as one would plaster a dam for waters, exactly so do they place the refrain at the end to prevent the sap from overflowing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [23.140.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.jaiminiya.23.140.p1) prati vāṃ sūra udita iti maitrāvaruṇaṃ bhavati prati hyetarhi stomāśchando hyṛtavo grahā āvartante atho yat prati vām iti bhavati tasmādu hedaṃ yathartvannādyaṃ pratidhīyata upariṣṭādudarkāṇyanyāni stotrāṇi bhavanti athaitadanupariṣṭādudarkam prāṇāpānau vai maitrāvaruṇau yadupariṣṭādudarkaṃ dadhyuḥ prāṇāpānāvapihanyuḥ tadyadanupariṣṭādudarkaṃ dadhati prāṇāpānābhyāmevotsṛṣṭyai bhindhi viśvā apa dviṣa ityaindraṃ bhavati pari bādho jahī mṛdha > en: “Facing you both at the rising of the sun…” > en: —this is the Maitrāvaruṇa laud. > en: For at this time the stomas, meter, seasons, and soma cups turn toward \[each other\]. > en: And because > en: “Facing you both…” > en: occurs, therefore food is set out according to each season.
