He now separates the two spoons (guhû and upabhrit), with the text (Vâg. S. II, 15 a), 'May I be victorious after the victory of Agni and Soma! with the impetus of the (sacrificial) food I urge myself on.' With his right hand he moves the guhû eastwards (from its usual place on the prastara-bunch upon the altar), with the text (ib. b), 'May Agni and Soma drive him away who hates us, and whom we hate! with the impetus of the (sacrificial) food I drive him away.' With his left hand he moves the upabhrit westwards (from its place on the barhis to outside the altar):--Thus, if the sacrificer himself (does it).
