Preview of English translation:

23. And when he has slept and does not wish to fall asleep again, (the Adhvaryu) makes him mutter the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 15), “Thought and life have come back to me, breath and soul have come back to me, eye and ear have come back to me;” for all these depart from him when he sleeps; the breath alone does not; and after he has slept he again unites with them: therefore he says, “Thought and life have come back to me . . .”—“May Agni Vaishvanara, the unassailable preserver of lives, preserve us from mishap and shame!” whereby he means to say, “May Agni save us from whatever mistake (may be committed) on this occasion, either by sleep or otherwise:” this is why he says, “May Agni Vaishvanara, the unassailable preserver of lives, preserve us from mishap and shame!”
