Preview of English translation:
38. He returns (to the offering-fire) and stands thereby worshipping it;—for when he goes outside the Vedi, whilst Agni (the fire-altar) is only half built up, he does what is improper; he now makes amends to him to prevent his doing injury. With a verse to Agni (he worships): it is to Agni he thereby makes amends;—with an undefined one; the undefined means everything: by means of everything he thus makes amends to him;—with (a verse) containing the word 'youngest:' this indeed, to wit, the youngest, is his favourite form.;—inasmuch as when born he took possession (yu) of everything here, he is the youngest (yavishtha).
