4.17.9

eṣa ha vā udakpravaṇo yajño yatra evaṃvid brahmā bhavati \
evaṃvidaṃ ha vā eṣā brahmāṇam anu gāthā \
yato yata āvartate tat tad gacchati \\417.9\

9. Verily, that sacrifice is inclined to the north in which there is a Brahman priest who knows this. Verily, there is this song on the Brahman priest who knows this:— Whichever way he turns himself, In that same way goes common man. The Brahman priest alone protects The sacrificers like a dog.
