Five blessings he utters; there are three in the sacrificial food; they make up eight; by them the gods attained all attainments (iṣṭiḥ); verily thus does the sacrificer by means of them attain all attainments.

In that he says the Çaṁyuvāka, and the Çaṁyuvāka is a support, verily (it serves) for a support; again Çaṁyu Bārhaspatya appeased all sacrifices; therefore he utters the Çaṁyuvāka.
