As to this they say, 'Let him offer only this one: for whatever object the others are offered, that object he gains even by this one.' And, indeed, if he offers only this one, he would offer a full-offering; and the full means everything: hence he gains everything by this (oblation). And by filling the dipping-spoon (sruva), he fills the offering-spoon (guhû), and the latter he offers full. This, however, is a mere statement (of others’ views), but all (five) libations are offered.
