‡ Śat. Br. V. 2. 2. 14-15: ‘I consecrate thee N. N., with the supreme rulership of Brihaspati’! therewith he mentions the (Sacrificer’s) name: he thus makes him attain to the fellowship of Brihaspati, and to co-existence in his world. He then says, ‘All-ruler is he, N. N.! All-ruler is he, N. N.!’ Him, thus indicated, he thereby indicates to the gods: ‘Of mighty power is he who has been consecrated; he has become one of yours; protect him!’ thus he thereby says.” S. B. E. Vol. XLI. p. 39.
