Preview of English translation:
19. This is the course of the Adityas; and these Yajus, they say, belong to the Adityas. Let (the Adhvaryu) endeavour to perform as much of it as is his (the sacrificer's) wish. And if the sacrificer tell him to do otherwise, then he should do otherwise. He may also perform those same four fore-offerings,—omitting that to the Barhis—two butter-portions, (the oblations of cake) to Varuna and Agni-Varuna, and two after-offerings,—omitting the one to the Barhis;—this makes ten. Now the viraj consists of ten syllables, and the sacrifice is viraj: thus he makes the sacrifice to be like the viraj.
