4.1.1.17

taṃ gṛhītvā parimārṣṭi | nedvyavaścotaditi taṃ na sādayati prāṇo hyasyaiṣa tasmādayamasannaḥ prāṇaḥ saṃcarati yadīttvabhicaredathainaṃ sādayedamuṣya tvā prāṇaṃ sādayāmīti tathāha tasminna punarasti yannānusṛjati teno adhvaryuśca yajamānaśca jyogjīvataḥ

Having drawn the graha, he wipes (the vessel) all round, lest any (Soma-juice) should trickle down. He does not deposit it; for this is his out-breathing, whence this out-breathing passes unceasingly. Should he, however, desire to exorcise, he may deposit it with, 'I put thee down, the out-breathing of N.N.!' Thus, forsooth, inasmuch as he (the Adhvaryu) does not quit his hold of it, it is not again in that (enemy); and thus both the Adhvaryu and the Sacrificer live long.
