11. He puts the pot on (the Garhapatya hearth), with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 2 b, c): “Thou art the sky! thou art the earth!”—he praises and eulogises her by thus saying, “thou art the sky! thou art the earth!”—“Matarishvan’s cauldron (gharma) art thou!” he thereby makes it (a means of) sacrifice, and puts it on just as if he were putting on the (pravargya-) cauldron (gharma).—“All-holding art thou! stand firm by the highest law! do not waver!”—thereby he steadies it, renders it firm.—“May thy Lord of Sacrifice not waver!”—the Lord of Sacrifice, doubtless, is the sacrificer, hence it is for the sacrificer that he thereby prays for steadiness.
