________________ II KÂNDA, 5 ADHYÂYA, 2 BRÂHMANA, 41. 403 Pratiprasthâtri then makes an 'under-layer' of butter (in his guhd), and two cuttings from the curds of the Maruts, and with either of the two cuttings puts the ewe (in the spoon). He then pours butter thereon, replenishes (the place of) the two cuttings, and steps across (to the south of the fire). The Adhvaryu, having called for the 'Sraushat,' says (to the Hotri), 'Pronounce the offering-prayer to the Maruts !' and on the 'Vashat' being uttered, (the Pratiprasthâtri) he pours out the oblation. 39. The Adhvaryu then proceeds with the cake on eleven potsherds for Ka; and having made that offering, he says, ' Pronounce the invitatory prayer to Agni Svishtakrit (“the maker of good offering")!' The Adhvaryu then takes cuttings from all (his) oblations, one from each ; and the Pratiprasthâtri also takes one cutting from that oblation of curds (to the Maruts). They then pour twice butter upon (the portions), and step across (to the south side of the fires). On stepping across and calling for the "Sraushat,' the Adhvaryu says, ' Pronounce the offering-prayer to Agni Svishtakrit; and after the (concluding) Vashat, they both pour out the oblation. 40. The Adhvaryu now cuts off the fore-portion. Having then cut off the Idà piece by piece, he hands it to the Pratiprasthâtri; and the Pratiprasthầtri puts thereon two cuttings from the Maruts' curds. He (the Adhvaryu) then pours twice butter thereon. After invoking (the Idà), they cleanse themselves ?. 41. Thereupon the Adhvaryu says, 'O Brahman, shall I step forward?' Having put on the (remaining) kindling-stick ?, he says, 'Agnidh, trim the fire!' See I, 8, 1, 18-43. See II, 5, 2, 19, and I, 8, 2, 3. dd 2 Digitized by Google
