15. It should be drawn at a (sacrifice with) a thousand (cows as the priests’ fee); for a thousand is everything, and this (graha) is everything. It should be drawn at (a sacrifice) where the entire property is given away, for the entire property is everything, and this (graha) is everything. It should be drawn at a Vishvajit with all the Prishthas, for the Vishvajit [“all-conquering”] is everything, and this (cup) is everything. It should be drawn at a Vajapeya and Rajasuya, for that is everything. It should be drawn at a sattra (sacrificial session), for the sattra means everything, and this (cup) means everything. These are the drawings.
