There he shall hold out cheese.
The same shall it be for river water;
But for river water,
The Frabaretar3 may bring, without guilt, for a half, Boiling milk of mares, cows, sheep, or goats.
68. The Frabaretar shall bring the libations, The Havanan shall prepare the Haoma,
In such a way that the libations, prepared to the best of their knowledge, come to me by daylight, not in the darkness".

For there is no piety without knowledge';
For all libations poured out and presented, that are poured in the darkness of night, and without singing the Ahuna Vairya, flow to the benefit of the Daêvas ';
And if one pour them without looking at the fire and the Baresman,
They accrue for the victory of the Anaryan countries".
