And even as some of the offering-material may be spilled before it is offered, so also (part) of the victim is here spilled in that they let loose the sprinkled (horse) before it is slaughtered. When he offers (the oblations relating to) the Forms (rûpa), he offers that (horse) as one that is wholly offered, so as to make good any spilling; for unspilled is what is spilled of the offered (material). With (Vâg. S. XXII, 7-8),'To the Hiṅ-call, hail! to the (horse) consecrated by Hiṅ, hail!...' (he offers them); for these are the forms (qualities) of the horse: it is them he now obtains.
