And why he proceeds with the dish of curds for Mitra-Varuna,--because he makes him ascend the northern region, the seasons, the hymns and metres, he now redeems him therefrom by this (oblation). The remains he pours on the Brihaspati pap. And in that he pours those remains on the Brihaspati pap, he thereby bestows food upon him (the Sacrificer); and hence food is brought to the king from every quarter.
