11. “Uniting blessings, not uniting bodies;” whereby he means to say, “Unite ye your blessings only, but not also your bodies;” for were they also to unite their bodies, Agni (the fire) would burn the sacrificer. Now when this one sacrifices in the fire, he gives gifts to Agni; and whatever blessing the priests here invoke upon the sacrificer, all that Agni accomplishes. Thus they unite only their blessings, but not also their bodies: wherefore he says, “Uniting blessings, not uniting bodies.”
