Next as to the Abhyuditā sacrifice. He wanders from the path of the sacrifice at whose fast the moon is seen in the east. He offers to Agni, the giver, a cake on eight potsherds; Agni is the giver; verily he gives the sacrifice to him. (He offers) to Indra, the bestower, curds milked in the evening; Indra is the bestower; verily he bestows the sacrifice upon him. (He offers) to Viṣṇu Çipiviṣṭa a pap in milk milked in the morning; Viṣṇu is the sacrifice; verily he gives to him the sacrifice.
