15. And when he (the Hotri) recites this (verse), “With one and ten for thine own sake, with two and twenty for offering, with three and thirty for up-bearing (the sacrifice to the gods); with thy teams, O Vayu, do thou here unloose them!”—during (the recitation of) this verse to Vayu the drinking-vessels are unyoked, for beasts have Vayu for their leader; and Vayu (wind) is breath, since it is by means of the breath that beasts move about.
