33. Here now some hand over that entire (remaining) porridge to the Hotri; and the Hotri, having invoked it, smells it and hands it to the Brahman. The Brahman smells it and hands it to the Agnidhra; and the Agnidhra also smells it. And so indeed they do this. But, as from any other oblation they cut off the Ida and the fore-portion, so let them cut from this also; and having invoked it (the Ida) they smell it, but do not eat it. “But,” said Asuri, “we think that some should be eaten, of whatever is offered up in the fire.”
