3.5.4.1
dvayaṃ vā abhyuparavāḥ khāyante | śiro vai yajñasya havirdhānaṃ tadya ime śīrṣaścatvāraḥ kūpā imāvaha dvāvimau dvau tānevaitatkaroti tasmāduparavān khanati
It is for a twofold reason that the sounding-holes are dug. The cart-shed, truly, is the head of the sacrificer; and what four holes there are here in the head--namely, these two and these two --those he thereby makes: for this reason he digs the sounding-holes.
