Preview of English translation:
13. [The sacrificer] having gone round the Ahavaniya, (after entering) from the east, passes between (it and) the Garhapatya (to his seat). For the gods do not know (this) man; but when he now passes by them between (the fires), they know him, and think, “This is he that now offers to us.” Moreover, Agni (the fire) is the repeller of evil; and these two, the Ahavaniya and Garhapatya, repel the evil from him who passes between them; and the evil being repelled from him, he becomes a very light in splendour and glory.
