Preview of English translation:
27. In front of the Maitravaruna’s hearth the dish of curds for Mitra and Varuna has been deposited. He draws down to it his (the Sacrificer's) two arms, with, “I draw you down, the arms of Indra, the doer of mighty deeds.” Now curds are the essence of cattle: hence it is to the essence of cattle that he thereby brings down his (the Sacrificer's) arms. And as to its being for Mitra-Varuna, it is because Mitra and Varuna are the two arms.
