1.7.1.9

tasyām pavitraṃ karoti | vasoḥ pavitramasīti yajño vai vasustasmādāha vasoḥ pavitramasīti

On it he fastens a strainer (pavitram), with the formula (Vâg. S. I, 2 a), 'Vasu's means of purification (ventilator, strainer, pavitram) art thou!' Vasu, indeed, is the sacrifice: for this reason he says, 'Vasu's means of purification art thou!'
