10.2.3.7
te ye ha tathā kurvanti etaṃ ha te pitaram prajāpatiṃ sampadaścyāvayanti ta iṣṭvā pāpīyāṃso bhavanti pitaraṃ hi prajāpatiṃ sampadaścyāvayanti sā yāvatyeṣā saptavidhasya vedistāvatīṃ caturdaśa kṛtva ekaśatavidhasya vediṃ vimimīte
Indeed, those who do it in that way, deprive this Father Pragâpati of his due proportions; and they will become the worse for sacrificing, for they deprive Father Pragâpati of his due proportions. As large as this Vedi of the sevenfold (fire-altar) is, fourteen times as large he measures out the Vedi of the one hundred and one-fold (altar).
