Preview of English translation:

16. That (Vasativari water) is carried round for the sake of protection; Agni is in front (of the sacrificial ground), and now that (water) moves about all round, repelling the evil spirits. He puts it down in the Agnidhra (fire-house) with, “Ye are all the gods” share!' whereby he makes all the gods enter it. It is a desirable object (vara) to the dwellers (vasat), hence the name Vasativari, and verily he who knows this, becomes a desirable object to the dwellers.
