He who sacrifices, assuredly, pleases the gods. Having pleased the gods by that sacrifice,--that is, partly by Rik-verses, partly by Yagus-formulas, and partly by oblations,--he obtains a share among them.
When he has obtained a share among them, then (the Hotri) invokes a blessing (on him); and that (blessing, invoked by him, the gods realise for this sacrificer), knowing as they do that he has pleased them. For this reason also he invokes a blessing after the sacrifice.
