Verily, that invitatory formula alone is auspicious, in the first word of which he utters the (name of the) deity; and that offering-formula alone is auspicious in the last word of which he pronounces the vashat upon the deity; for the (name of the) deity constitutes the vigour of the Rik (verse): hence after thus enclosing it on both sides with vigour, he offers the sacrificial food to that deity for which it is intended.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
