11. [The fifth with Vajasaneyi Samhita VIII, 19; Atharva-veda VII, 97, 3], “The willing gods whom thou, O God, broughtest hither, speed them each to his own abode, O Agni!” For to Agni he said, “Bring hither such and such gods! bring hither such and such gods!” and to him he now says, “Whatever gods thou hast brought hither, make them go whithersoever their course lies!”—“Ye have all eaten and drunk,”—for they have eaten the cakes of the animal offering, and they have drunk the king Soma: therefore he says, “ye have all eaten and drunk;”—“Draw ye nigh to the air, to the heat, to the light! H ail!” Hereby, then, he dismisses the deities.
