19. They put their elbows together behind the sacrificial stake, unless the fire should blaze up; but. if the fire blaze up, they may join their elbows in front of the stake,—the Adhvaryu with, “The Shukra (bright), uniting with the sky, with the earth, with the brightly shining;” the Pratiprasthatri with, “The Manthin, uniting with the sky, with the earth, with the manthin-shining.” Thus they make these two (cups) the resting-places of the eyes, and join the two eyes together: whence these two eyes are joined together with bones all round.
