Aloud he sacrifices with the last after-offering, aloud he utters the Sūktavāka and the Çaṃyorvāka. Just as a man makes to appear what is lost (saying) ‘I have found’, so he makes to appear his desires (saying) ‘I have obtained.’ Some, however, perform three (parts) in a low tone, the discriminations, the second butter-portion, and the oblation (on the ground that), ‘So much is there which is adventitious.’ The (offering) is both uttered in a low tone and uttered aloud; Agni has two forms, the expressly declared and that which is not expressly declared; thereby he obtains that (characteristic) of him. Some make it with Agni all through, but that he should not do. The sacrificial fee is a bad chariot, resown, with an old wrapper, renewed, a draft ox, or gold, for this is a renewed ceremony. The second (offering) is for Aditi; Aditi is a support; verily (it serves) for support.
