22. Then to the Brahman, for the Brahman watches over the sacrifice from the south. Then to the Udgatri (chanter); then to the Hotri; then to the two Adhvaryus, seated in the cart-shed. Then, having returned (to the Sadas he presents gold) to the Prastotri; then to the Maitravaruna; then to the Brahmanachamsin; then to the Potri; then to the Neshtri; then to the Achavaka; then to the Unnetri; then to the Gravastut; then to the Subrahmanya. To the Pratihartri he presents it last, since he is the restrainer(pratihartri): he thus in the end restrains (the cows) for him, and so they do not become lost to him.
