1.1.2.7

yajño vasanti na kauṣṭasya na kumbhyai bhastrāyai ha smarṣayo gṛhṇanti tadvṛṣīnprati bhastrāyai yajūṃṣyāsustānyetarhi prākṛtāni yajñādyajñaṃ nirmimā iti tasmādanasa evagṛhṇīyāt

The cart further is (one of the means of) the sacrifice; for the cart is indeed (one of the means of) sacrifice. To the cart, therefore, refer the (following) Yagus-texts, and not to a store-room, nor to a jar. The Rishis, it is true, once took (the rice) from a leathern bag, and hence, in the case of the Rishis, the Yagus-texts applied to a leathern bag. Here, however, they are taken in their natural application. Because he thinks 'from (or, by means of) the sacrifice I will perform the sacrifice,' let him, therefore, take (rice) from the cart.
