13.5.1.4

When the Agnishtoma is completed, and the Vasatîvarî water carried round, the Adhvaryu performs the Annahomas (oblations of food): the import of these has been explained. With twelve Anuvâkas (Vâg. S. XXII, 23-34), 'To the in-breathing hail! To the off-breathing hail!' (he offers)--twelve months are a year, and the year is everything, and the Asvamedha is everything: thus it is for his obtaining and securing everything.
