2-3.113
Bending down, he should sip water; bending down, he should pluck grass. / Wherever evacuation overcomes him, right there he should relieve himself. / He wins the world of the draft-ox. / With this Janaka of Videha wished to sacrifice. / Brahmins sat around him. / He asked: "Which stoma is it?" / Sudakṣiṇa Kṣaimirṇi said: "They say it is the Trivṛt indeed." / "What is its observance? What are the sacrificial gifts?" / He explained this to him. / He said: "I look forward indeed to its sacrificial gifts, but I do not look forward to its observance." / Therefore he did not dare to sacrifice. / With it Puṇyakeśa Yaudheni, the king of the Śibis, sacrificed. / Evacuation overcame him right in the assembly. / Turning aside right there, he said: "This was indeed an old man's sacrifice! / An old man alone should sacrifice with this sacrifice, / for to an old man everything here is permitted." / This is indeed an old man's sacrifice. / Therefore one should sacrifice with it only in later life.
