adhi dvayor adadhā ukthyam vaco viśvā rūpāṇi prati muñcate kavir iti / (soma: havir dhāna pravartana)

the Adhvaryu offers in the track of the two oblation holders he accompanies with the first (verse); in that they move forward the two oblation holders, that he accompanies with the latter. He praises the two oblation holders with the appropriate (verse ), ‘What time ye came like twins striving.’ ‘Let men in service to the gods’ (he says ), for many drag the two. ‘In the two hast thou placed the word of praise’ and ‘All forms the sage doth assume’, (he says) ; in that they put on the cover third, that he accompanies with the first, in that they enclose the two oblation holders, that with the latter.
