20. He (the Agnidhra) then says (to the Adhvaryu), “Discourse together!”—he thereby says, “Make him (the sacrificer) discourse with the gods.” [The Adhvaryu asks], “Has he gone (to the gods), Agnidh?” whereby he says, “Has he really gone?”—“He has gone!” replies the other.—“Bid (the gods) hear!” by these words he (the Adhvaryu) means to say, “Make him (the sacrificer) be heard, make him be noticed by the gods!”—“May (one or they) hear (sraushat)!” thereby he (the Agnidhra) means to say, “They know him, they have recognised him.” Thus the Adhvaryu and the Agnidhra lead the sacrificer to the world of the gods.
