Preview of English translation:
2. He now sits down somewhere inside the altar (vedi). Then some one (viz. the Agnidhra) comes with the kneading-water and brings it to him. He (the Adhvaryu) receives it through the strainers, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 21): “Let the waters mingle with the plants!” for thereby the water unites with the plants, viz. with the ground rice,—“The plants with the sap!” for the plants thereby unite with the sap; viz. that ground rice with the water, for water is their sap,—“The shining (or wealthy ones) with the moving!” for the shining ones are the waters, and the moving ones are the plants, and these two are thereby mixed together,—“Let the sweet mingle with the sweet!” whereby he says, “let the savoury be mixed with the savoury!”
