One to whom the sacrifice does not resort should offer on eleven potsherds to God the Radiant and God the All-Pervading; all the angels are servants of the Radiant, and the sacrifice is devoted worship; he has recourse to God with their own share, and He gives him the sacrifice; the sacrifice resorts to him. One who desires sight should offer an oblation in ghee to God the Radiant and God the All-Pervading; by the light of the Radiant men see, by the eye of the sacrifice the angels see; he has recourse to God with their own share, and He bestows sight upon him; he becomes possessed of sight. The butter is the product of the cow, the rice grain of the ox; from the pair he produces sight for him. The oblation is made in ghee; ghee is brilliance, sight is brilliance; thus by brilliance he wins brilliance and sight. Just at the time of the morning pressing he should offer on eight potsherds to the Radiant and the All-Pervading; the Sarasvati (the gift of speech) should have a share of the butter, and to the Lord of Prayer an oblation be offered; in that it is on eight potsherds, and the Gayatri has eight syllables, and the morning pressing is connected with the Gayatri, he obtains thereby the morning pressing. Just at the time of the midday pressing he should offer on eleven potsherds to the Radiant and the All-Pervading; in that it is on eleven potsherds, and the Tristubh has eleven syllables, and the midday pressing is connected with the Tristubh, he obtains thereby the midday pressing. Just at the time of the third pressing he should offer on twelve potsherds to the Radiant and the All-Pervading; in that it is on twelve potsherds, and the Jagati has twelve syllables, and the third pressing is connected with the Jagati, he obtains thereby the third pressing. By means of the potsherds he makes up the metres, by means of the cakes the pressings.
