"To him hail! To them hail!" with these words he offers, and thereby he appeases them.

The offering is of four Sharavas in size; thus he finds support in the quarters; it is made in milk; thus he bestows brilliance upon him; he takes it out, to make it cooked; it is full of butter, for purity; four descended from seers partake of it; thus he offers in the light of the quarters.
