For this (offering) there are seventeen kindling-verses; and the two butter-portions are possessed of that which is: the (truly) existent he thereby obtains. [The verses, Rig-veda V, 82, 5; VII, 45, 31 'All troubles, O divine Savitri, (keep from us, do thou send us that which is good)!' and 'May that mighty god Savitri (the lord of treasure, send us treasure; shedding wide-spread lustre, may he bestow upon us the joys of mortal life)!' pronounced in a low voice, are the invitatory and offering formulas of the chief oblation. Those of the Svishtakrit are two anushtubh verses. Silver is the priests’ fee,--for the sake of variety of colour, and also for the sake of (the horse's) going outside and not going away. It weighs a hundred (grains), for man has a life of a hundred (years), and a hundred energies: it is life, and energy, vigour, he thus secures for himself.
