Plain text of Kanda 2 · ii. 2. 11
One who desires a village should offer on eleven potsherds to God the Mighty and on seven potsherds to the angels of the winds (the Maruts); he has recourse to God and to the angels with their own share, and they make his fellows subject to him; he becomes possessed of a village. He places the offering for the Mighty on the Ahavaniya, that for the angels on the Garhapatya, to prevent confusion. The offering for the angels is on seven potsherds; the angels are in seven troops; thus by troops he wins his fellows. He places it down when the recitation is proceeding; thus he makes the people obedient to him. One who desires, "May they be at unity," should make the same offering. According to each, he should cut off, and according to each utter the Yajya; thus he arranges them in due order with their portions; they are at unity. One who desires a village should offer on eleven potsherds to the Mighty and on twelve potsherds to all the angels; he has recourse to God and the angels with their own share, and they subject his fellows to him; he becomes possessed of a village. One who desires a village should offer to the angels an oblation of panic seed in the milk of a speckled cow; his fellows are under the angels' care; thus he has recourse to them with their own share, and they subject his fellows to him; he becomes possessed of a village. The Yajya and the Anuvakya contain the word "dear"; thus he makes him dear to his fellows; the Puronuvakya has two feet; thus he wins bipeds; the Yajya has four feet; thus he wins quadrupeds. The angels and those who rejected God were in conflict; the angels were at variance with one another; unwilling to accept the pre-eminence of another they went apart in four bodies, the Radiant with the Vasus, the Healer with the Rudras, the Mighty with the Maruts, the All-Seeing with the Adityas. The Mighty had recourse to the Creator, who made him offer with the verse for harmony: to the Radiant with the Vasus he offered a cake on eight potsherds, to the Healer with the Rudras an oblation, to the Mighty with the Maruts a cake on eleven potsherds, to the All-Seeing with the Adityas an oblation; then indeed the angels agreed to recognize the pre-eminence of the Mighty. One who is at variance with his fellows should be caused to offer with the verse for harmony, in the same manner; so his fellows recognize him as superior; he becomes the best of his fellows.
