26. In the north—with regard to the back part of the Soma-carts—he then raises the Agnidhra (shed). One half of it should be inside the altar, and one half outside; or more than one half may be inside the altar and less outside; or the whole of it may be inside the altar. When completed, he touches it with, “Thou art the All-gods’ own!” To the All-gods it belongs, because on the day before (the Soma feast) the All-gods abide in it by the Vasativari water.
