He now sits down somewhere inside the altar (vedi). Then some one (viz. the Âgnîdhra) comes with the kneading-water and brings it to him. He (the Adhvaryu) receives it through the strainers, with the text (Vâg. S. I, 21): 'Let the waters mingle with the plants!' for thereby the water unites with the plants, viz. with the ground rice,--'The plants with the sap!' for the plants thereby unite with the sap; viz. that ground rice with the water, for water is their sap,--'The shining (or wealthy ones) with the moving!' for the shining ones are the waters, and the moving ones are the plants, and these two are thereby mixed together,--'Let the sweet mingle with the sweet!' whereby he says, 'let the savoury be mixed with the savoury!'
