"This is thy Gayatri part," say for me to the provision.

"This is thy Tristubh, Jagati, part," say for me to the provision.

"Become lord of the Chandomas," say for me to the provision. He who purchases the king provision after making it go to the world of lordship becomes lord of his own people. The world of lordship of the king provision is the metres; he should utter these verses before the purchase of the provision. It is to the world of lordship that he makes it go when he buys it, and he becomes lord of his own. One who knows the support of the Tanunaptra finds support. The theologians say, "They do not eat, nor offer; then where does the Tanunaptra find support?" In the Creator, in the mind, he should reply. He should smell at it thrice, saying, "In the Creator thee, in the mind I offer"; this indeed is the support of the Tanunaptra; one who knows thus finds support. One who knows the support of the Adhvaryu finds support. He should call on the Agnidhra standing in the place without moving whence he is minded to sacrifice. This is the support of the Adhvaryu; one who knows thus finds support. If he were to sacrifice moving about, he would lose his support; therefore he should sacrifice standing in the same place, for support. One who knows the possession of the Adhvaryu becomes possessed of what he needs. His possession is the offering-spoon, his possession is the Vayu cup, his possession is the beaker. If he were to call without holding the Vayu cup or the beaker, he would lose his own; therefore he must hold it when he calls. If he begins the litany without placing the provision, the provision is not supported, the Stoma is not supported, the hymns are not supported, the sacrificer is not supported, the Adhvaryu is not supported. The support of the provision is the Vayu cup, the support of it is the beaker, the support of the Stoma is the provision, the support of the hymns is the Stoma. He should grasp the cup or fill up the beaker, and then begin the litany; thus a support to the provision he gives, to the Stoma, to the hymns; the sacrificer finds support, the Adhvaryu finds support.
