Preview of English translation:
34. The Pratiprasthatri is merely the imitator of what is done (by the Adhvaryu). For Varuna is the nobility, and the Maruts are the people: hence he thereby makes the people the imitators, the followers of the nobility. But were the Pratiprasthatri also to call for the 'Shraushat,' he would doubtless make the people equal in power to the nobility: for this reason the Pratiprasthatri does not call for the 'Shraushat.'
