Preview of English translation:
17. A bull is the fee for the Vaishvanara (oblation); for Vaishvanara is the year, and Prajapati is the year; and the bull is the Prajapati (lord of creatures or generation) among cows: therefore a bull is the fee for the Vaishvanara. A black cloth for the Varuna (oblation), for what is black belongs to Varuna. If he cannot obtain a black one, any kind of cloth will do: it is by its knots that the cloth belongs to Vanilla, for the knot is sacred to Varuna.
