5. Thereupon the gods ordained this to be the dakshina at the new- and full-moon sacrifices, to wit, the Anvaharya mess of rice, “lest the oblation should be without a dakshina.” That (rinsing water) he pours out (for each Aptya) separately: thus he avoids a quarrel among them. He makes it hot (previously): thus it becomes boiled (drinkable) for them. He pours it out with the formulas, “For Trita thee!” 'For Dvita thee!' 'For Ekata thee!'—Now it is as an animal sacrifice that this sacrificial cake is offered.
