athāpa ācāmati | śāntirāpastadadbhiḥ śāntyā śamayate 'tha parikṣālya pātraṃ
They bring him the Brahman's portion. The Brahman, in truth, sits south of the sacrifice, as its guardian. He sits facing that portion. As regards the fore-portion, that they have already brought to him and he has eaten it. In the Brahman's portion which they now bring to him, he obtains his own share; and henceforth he watches what remains incomplete of the sacrifice: for this reason they bring him the Brahman's portion.
