They then spake, 'Who shall offer this unto us?'--'The priest (brâhmana)!'--'Priest, offer this unto us! What is to be my share then? The residue of the Agnihotra!'

And if any one is to drink it, at least none but a Brâhman must drink it: for it is put on the fire (and thereby consecrated), and hence none but a Brâhman must drink it.
