12. Thereupon, whilst touching the pole behind the prop, he mutters (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 8 b-9 a): “To the gods thou belongest, thou the best carrying one, the most firmly joined, the most richly filled, the most agreeable (to the gods), the best caller of the gods!” 'Thou art unbent, the receptacle of oblations; be thou firm, waver not!' Thus he eulogises the cart, hoping that he may obtain the oblation from the one thus eulogised and pleased. He adds (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 9 b), “May thy Lord of Sacrifice not waver!” for Lord of Sacrifice is the sacrificer, and it is for the sacrificer, therefore, that he thus prays for firmness.
