That which is the fire-offering is indeed undefeated.
He who knows thus is not defeated.
When he touches water at the beginning—water is truth, truth is consecration—that is his consecration.
He offers with eight syllables: "Fire is light, light is fire, svāhā!"
The Gāyatrī has eight syllables.
That is the morning pressing.
With the mind alone he offers the second oblation.
That is the midday pressing.
When [the ladle] has been wiped, he eats [the residue].
That is the third pressing;
for that third pressing is as if licked.
He touches water at the end.
That is his purificatory bath.
When he offers these two evening oblations, with these two oblations of his it has been sacrificed with all these sacrificial rites.
And when he offers these two morning oblations, with these two oblations of his it has been sacrificed with all these sacrificial rites.
That which is the fire-offering is boundless.
