9. For, indeed, the breath of the victim when slain here passes into the wind: “Obtain thou that thy breath may pass into the wind!” is what he thereby means to say. “Thy limbs with those worthy of offering” he says, because it is with its limbs that they sacrifice: “Obtain thou that they may sacrifice with thy limbs” is what he thereby means to say. “The lord of sacrifice with his prayer,” hereby they invoke a blessing on the sacrificer: “Obtain thou that through thee they may invoke a blessing on the sacrificer” is what he thereby means to say. He then deposits the two spoons and calls for the Shraushat with a view to the Pravara (election of the Hotri). The significance of this is the same (as before).
