For this (offering) there are fifteen kindling-verses; and the two butter-portions relate to the slaying of Vritra. [The verses, Rig-veda V, 82, 9; VII, 45, 1], 'He who calleth forth all these beings (with his call, may he, Savitri, quicken us)!' and 'May the divine Savitri come hither, treasure-laden, (filling the air whilst driving with his steeds; holding in his hand many things meet for man; and laying to rest and awakening the world),' pronounced in a low voice, are the invitatory and offering formulas of the chief oblation. Those of the Svishtakrit are two virâg-verses. The priests’ fee is gold weighing a hundred (grains): the meaning of this has been explained.
