18.5.22

atha savyāvṛto apsu somān upaparāyanti /

xviii. 8. Then turning to the left, they approach the Somas in the waters; they place them here within the altar, for that is the abode of the Soma; they distribute the branches of Darbha grass; when the waters and the plants come together, then the Soma is complete. With a verse to Viṣṇu they pour them down; Viṣṇu is the sacrifice; verily thus they establish them at the end in the sacrifice. Then they stroke the vital organs; verily thus they make whole whatever here has been ill-treated or injured of the vital organs, they cure it. They make enclosures for the food; verily thus the food of the gods they sever from the food of man.
