11. They must not bite them with their teeth,—for these (grains) mean cattle,—thinking 'lest we should do aught to crush our cattle!' They only drink it in with their breath, with (Va,;. S. VIII, 12), “What horse-winning, what cow-winning draught is thine;” for they are cattle: therefore he says, “what horse-winning, what cow-winning draught is thine;”—“Of that draught, offered with Yajus, praised by chants,”—for Yajus-prayers have indeed been offered, and chants have been chanted;—“sung by hymns,”—for songs (shastras) have been sung;—“Of the invited do I drink, invited,”—for invited, he now drinks of the invited.
