In that he begins the third pressing with the Āditya cup, verily thus he begins with its own deity. Moreover, the third pressing is a pressing which has the sap sucked out; the Āditya cup is a cup rich in sap; verily thereby he makes the third pressing rich in sap. He recites a Triṣṭubh as invitatory verse for the Āditya cup; the explanation of this has been given. Then, when the Pavamāna has been sung, they proceed with the animal victim, for this is the time for it; moreover (it serves) to confer sap on the pressing. Then they proceed with the sacrifice of five oblations; the explanation of this has been given. He recites (verses) by Vāmadeva at the third pressing for (the goblets) being filled, for Vāmadeva it was who proclaimed the Soma to Indra at the third pressing. They contain (the words) 'hither' and 'bay steed', with the symbol of the invitatory verses; they are Triṣṭubhs addressed to Indra and the Ṛbhus; verily thus he makes Indra a half-sharer in the pressing. Nine he recites; ten goblets do they fill here, but the concluding is as the introductory rite. The Hotrakas sacrifice together; the explanation of this has been given. The offering verses are Jagatī verses, containing (the words) 'draught', 'be drunk', and 'drunk', for the third pressing is connected with the Jagatī; they contain (the word) 'be drunk', for the third pressing contains (the word) 'be drunk'. They say a second vaṣaṭ for the healing of the libations, for the support of the libations. Then comes the sacrificial food, then the Hotṛ's goblet; the explanation of this has been given. Then they offer the cakes (for the Pitṛs) at the third pressing; the explanation of these has been given. Then they proceed with the cup for Savitṛ ; the explanation of this has been given. He recites one Triṣṭubh as invitatory verse for the cup for Savitṛ; the explanation of this has been given. Again in that between the two litanies the Agnīdh says the offering verses for the cup for the wives, thereby the two reach the Hotṛ.
