17. And (in the same way) according to the respective deities. He then continues, “Bring hither the butter-drinking gods!” this he says in order that he may bring hither the prayagas and anuyagas (fore and after-offerings), for the prayagas and anuyagas (represent) indeed the butter-drinking gods.—“Bring Agni hither for the Hotriship!” this he says in order that he may bring Agni hither for the office of Hotri.—“Your own greatness bring hither!” this he says in order that he (Agni) may bring hither his own greatness; his own greatness, in truth, is his voice: hence he says it in order that he may bring hither his voice.—“Bring thou hither (the gods), O Jatavedas, and offer up a good offering!” what deities he bids him bring hither, with regard to those (deities) he thereby says 'bring them hither!' When he says, “offer up a good offering!” he means to say, “sacrifice in the proper order!”
