atha dhavitrairādhūnoti madhu madhviti triḥ prāṇo vai madhu prāṇamevāsminnetaddadhāti trīṇi bhavanti trayo vai prāṇāḥ prāṇa udāno vyānastānevāsminnetaddadhāti
He (the Adhvaryu) then fans (the fire) thrice by means of (three) fans, whilst muttering, 'Honey!' each time; for honey means breath: he thus lays breath into it. Three (fans) there are, for there are three breathings, the out (and in)-breathing, the up-breathing and the through-breathing: it is these he thus lays into it.
