Preview of English translation:
9. And on the following day he goes to the house of the Carver (bhagadugha), and prepares a pap for Pushan, for Pushan is carver to the gods; and that (officer) is carver to that (king): therefore it is for Pushan. And he, the carver, assuredly is one of his (the king's) jewels: it is for him that he is thereby consecrated, and him he makes his own faithful follower. The sacrificial fee for this (jewel) is a dark-grey bullock: the significance of such a one being the same as at the Trishamyukta.
