He then says, as to the chief offering (havis), 'Pronounce the invitatory prayer to Agni!' 'Pronounce the offering-prayer to Agni!' 'Pronounce the invitatory prayer to Agni Svishtakrit (the maker of good offerings)!' 'Pronounce the offering-prayer to Agni Svishtakrit!' Then where (otherwise) he would say, 'Pronounce the offering-prayer to the gods!' he now says, 'Pronounce the offering-prayer to the Agnis!'
