sa yatra devānām patnīryajati | tatpurastāttiraḥ karotyupa ha vai tāvaddevatā āsate yāvanna samiṣṭayajurjuhvatīdaṃ nu no juhvatviti tābhya evaitattiraḥ karoti tasmādimā mānuṣya striyastira ivaiva puṃso jighatmanti yā iva tu tā iveti ha smāha yājñavalkyaḥ
When he offers to the wives of the gods, he shuts (the fire) out from view on the eastern side; for, up to the time when they offer to the samishtayagus, the deities continue waiting, thinking, 'This he must offer up to us!' He thereby conceals (this offering) from them; and accordingly Yâgñavalkya says, 'Whenever human women here eat (they do so) apart from men.'
