The angels were afraid of death; they had recourse to the Creator; for them He appointed this offering to the Creator of a hundred Krishnalas in weight, and thereby bestowed upon them life. For one who fears death he should offer to the Creator this offering of a hundred Krishnalas; he has recourse to God with his own share, and He bestows life upon him; he lives all his days. It is of a hundred Krishnalas in weight; man has a hundred years of life and a hundred powers; thus in life and in power he finds support. The offering is in ghee; ghee is life, gold is lasting; thus he unites him with life. Four Krishnalas weight on each occasion he cuts off, to obtain the four cuttings-off; one by one he brings to the priest, and one by one he bestows life on the sacrificer. The sun did not shine; the angels sought an atonement for it, and they offered this oblation to God the Light-giver; thereby they bestowed radiance upon it. For one who desires splendour he should offer this oblation to the Light-giver; he has recourse to God with his own share, and He bestows splendour upon him; he becomes resplendent. He should offer on eight potsherds to the Radiant, on twelve potsherds to the Light-giver, and an oblation to the earth, who desires, "May I gain gold; may gold resort to me." In that it is offered to the Radiant, gold is connected with Him; thus by Him whose is gold he gains it; it is offered to the Light-giver; thus, instigated by Him, he gains it; to the earth an oblation is offered; thus on it he gains it; gold resorts to him. The same offering he should make whose gold is lost; in that it is offered to the Radiant, to the Light-giver, and the earth, in it what is lost is lost; thus in it he gains it. The Mighty by force drank the provision of Tvashtr, went apart on all sides, and was deprived of power; what he cast up became panic seeds; he had recourse to the Creator; for him He appointed this oblation of panic seeds, and thereby bestowed upon him power. One who has lost power should offer this oblation of panic seeds; he has recourse to God, and He bestows power upon him. He who desires cattle should offer a cake on eight potsherds to the Radiant, the Giver, and a cake on eleven potsherds to the Mighty, the Bestower; thus God produces cattle for him, and the Mighty makes them grow up. These are curds, honey, ghee, waters, and parched grain; that is the form of cattle; by their form he wins cattle; there are five takings, for cattle are fivefold; it is of many forms, for cattle are of many forms; it is offered to the Creator; cattle are connected with Him; the Yajya and the Anuvakya are in the Pankti metre; man is fivefold, cattle are fivefold; ransoming his body from death he wins cattle.
