Preview of English translation:
7. And, again, why he slaughters that white, hornless (he-goat);—when the gods restored the relaxed Prajapati, they, by means of this victim, put into him that out-breathing which had gone out of him; and in like mariner this one now puts it into him. It belongs to Vayu, because Vayu is the out-breathing; and to Niyutvat, because the teams are the in-breathing: he thus puts the out-breathing and in-breathing into him. It is white, because Vayu (the wind) is white; and it is hornless, because Vayu is hornless.
