athāgnimabhyāvṛtya vācaṃ visṛjate | na ha sa yajñamāpyāyayati na saṃdadhāti yo 'to 'nyena vācaṃ visṛjate sa prathamaṃ vyāharantsatyaṃ vāco 'bhivyāharati

Moreover, he breaks silence, after turning round towards the fire. He, on the other hand, who breaks silence with any other (formula) but this, does not strengthen the sacrifice, does not heal the sacrifice. In pronouncing the first (part of the formula) he utters the truth of speech.
