Preview of English translation:
18. He cuts it (the omentum) off on all sides (from the belly) and heats it at the cooking-fire: thus it becomes cooked for him already at this (fire). The Agnidh again takes a firebrand (from the Shamitra, and walks in front). They go behind the pit (catvala) and proceed to the Ahavaniya. The Adhvaryu throws that (top part of the) grass-stalk into the Ahavaniya with, “O Vayu, graciously accept the drops!” for this is the kindler (samidh) of the drops.
