Manu desired what of earth was sacrificial. He found the poured out ghee. He said, "Who is able to produce this also at the sacrifice?" The Friend and the All-Seeing said, "We are able to produce the cow." Then they set the cow in motion. Wherever she stepped, there ghee was pressed out; therefore she is called ghee-footed; that is her origin. "The Rathantara is invoked with the earth," he says. The Rathantara is this earth; thus he invokes her with food. "The Vamadevya is invoked with the atmosphere," he says. The Vamadevya is cattle; thus he invokes cattle with the atmosphere. "The Brihat is invoked with the sky," he says. The Brihat is connected with food; thus he invokes food with the sky. "The seven Hotras are invoked," he says; thus he invokes the Hotras. "The cow is invoked with the bull," he says; thus he invokes a pair. "The friend food is invoked," he says; thus he invokes the drink of the provision. "It is invoked; ho!" he says; thus he invokes the self, for the self is the best of those invoked. He invokes food, food is cattle; thus he invokes cattle. He invokes four, for cattle are four-footed. "Offspring of Manu," he says, for Manu first saw her. "Ghee-footed," he says. Because ghee was pressed out of her foot, therefore he says thus. "Of the Friend and the All-Seeing," he says, for they set her in motion. "The scholar, given of God, is invoked," he says; thus he invokes the scholar. "The divine Adhvaryus are invoked, the human are invoked," he says; thus he invokes the angels and men. "Who shall help this sacrifice and make the lord of the sacrifice prosper," he says; thus he invokes a blessing for the sacrifice and the sacrificer. "Sky and earth are invoked," he says; thus he invokes sky and earth. "Born of yore, the righteous," he says, for they were born of yore and are righteous. "Invoked is this sacrificer," he says; thus he invokes the sacrificer. "Invoked in the highest sacrifice, invoked in the greater offering, invoked in the divine abode," he says. The highest sacrifice is offspring, the greater offering is cattle, the divine abode is the world of heaven. "Thou art this; thou art this," he invokes the dear abode of the sacrifice. "All that is dear to it is invoked," he says; thus not vainly does he invoke.
