32. And if it be an Agnishtoma, and there be left a residue (of ghee poured together) in the pracarani spoon sufficient for an oblation, let him offer that. But if it be not sufficient for an oblation, he takes another portion of ghee in four ladlings and offers it, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita VI, 29; Rig-veda I, 27, 7), “Whatever mortal thou favourest in battles, whomsoever thou speedest in the race, he winneth unfailing strength, Hail!” He offers with (a prayer) to Agni, because the Agnishtoma [“Agni’s praise”] means Agni; thus he establishes the Agnishtoma in Agni. [He offers] with (a verse) containing the word 'mortal,' because the Agnishtoma is of the same measure as man. Let hire then offer in this manner, if it be an Agnishtoma.
