Whatever of the offering, when it is taken in the ladle, falls outside the enclosing-sticks is left as a portion for the poor and the creatures. He puts the enclosing-sticks around, to guard the offering from evil. He makes them touch, so that nothing evil may creep through. He puts none in front, for the sun rises in front and drives away evil. He places the two kindling-sticks upright, for upwards they drive away evil. He places one with a Yajus, the other in silence, to make a pair. He places two, the sacrificer has two feet, for support. The theologians say, "He indeed would be a sacrificer who should be the stronger for a failure in the sacrifice." The words "To the lord of earth hail! To the lord of the world, hail! To the lord of creatures, hail!" he should pronounce over the spilt offering. Thus by a failure in the sacrifice he becomes stronger, for he gives glory to God more than usual. There is sameness in the sacrifice, in that there are two sacrificial cakes offered in order. Between them he offers the silent sacrifice, to break the sameness and to make a pair. With food the angels invited the Radiant One, with the kingdom the ancestors Yama; therefore is the Radiant One the food-eater of the angels, Yama the king of the ancestors; one who knows thus obtains the kingdom and food. To Him they gave that share which they cut off for the Radiant One, the Well-Offerer. In that he cuts off a share for the Well-Offerer, he gives God the Healer a share. He cuts off one in each case, for the Healer is one as it were. He cuts off from the north part, for this is the Healer's quarter; thus he appeases Him in His own quarter. He sprinkles it twice, to make it divided into four. The former offerings are cattle; if he were to pour over the former offerings, the sacrificer would be without cattle. He offers leaving the former oblations aside, to protect the cattle.
