(1) “Bid (him, Agni, or them) hear!” (2) “Yea, may he (or, one) hear!” (3) “Pronounce the prayer to the kindling-sticks!” (4) “We who pronounce the prayer . . .” (5) “May he bear (the sacrifice to the gods)!” fivefold is the sacrifice, fivefold the animal victim, five are the seasons of the year: this is the one measure of the sacrifice, this its consummation.
