Plain text of Book 21 (continued)

59 Today this sacrificer, cooking viands, cooking sacrificial rice-cakes, binding a goat in the name of God the Healer, a ram in the name of God the Giver of Eloquence, a bull in the name of God the Mighty, pressing the pure juices for the sake of God the Healer, the Giver of Eloquence, and the Mighty, the Good Deliverer, has chosen his priest.

60 Today the Lord of the forest has done good service: in the name of the Healer with a goat, in the name of the Giver of Eloquence with a ram, in the name of the Mighty with a bull. These have been offered from the marrow onwards, the cooked viands have been presented, the rice-cakes have been given in charity.

61 Thee, today, O sage, son of a sage, descendant of sages, hath this sacrificer chosen for the many assembled, saying: This one shall win for me by sacrifice choice-worthy treasures by the favour of God. O priest, what gifts God has given, these do thou desire and approve. And thou art a commissioned priest, a human priest sent forward for benediction, for good speech. Speak thou good words.
