11. In the first place, having taken the two churning-sticks in his hand, he approves of the hall. Taking hold of the chief post of the front (east) side, he pronounces this sacrificial formula (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 1), “We have come to this place of worship on earth, wherein all the gods delighted.” Thereby that (place of worship) of his becomes acceptable to all the gods, as well as to the learned Brahmans versed in sacred lore; and that (place of worship) of his, which those Brahmans versed in sacred lore see with their eyes, becomes acceptable to them.
