10. Hence they say, “That (cake) contained on one potsherd has turned upside down: it will throw the kingdom into disorder.” No offence (is, however, committed) by him, for the Ahavaniya is the support of oblations; and if, after reaching the Ahavaniya, (the cake) were to turn upside down ten times, he need not heed it. And if others ask as to who would care to incur (the result of) such a combination (of errors), let him offer nothing but butter; for clarified butter is manifestly the sap of those two, heaven and earth, so that he thereby manifestly gladdens those two with their own sap or essence: hence he need offer nothing but butter.
