He pours it out during the recitation of the sastra; whereby he guides him safely over the twelvefold chant of praise: thus he obtains ever continued life, and thus does the sacrificer live long. Therefore the Brâhman should sit through the praise of Agni (Agnishtoma); till the offering of this (libation) he must not slip away --nor must he discharge urine: thus he obtains the full life--for this (libation) is his life--thus he reaches the full (measure of) life.

Julius Eggeling 1882, The Satapatha-Brahmana according to the Text of the Mâdhyandina School (SBE 12, 26, 41, 43, 44)
