They then go forward, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XVII, 54-58), “May the divine regions, the goddesses, protect the sacrifice!”—The gods and the Asuras, both of them sprung from Prajapati, were contending for the regions, and the gods wrested the regions from the Asuras; and in like manner does the Sacrificer now wrest the regions from his hateful rival. “Divine” he says, and thereby makes them divine for himself;—“may the goddesses protect the sacrifice,” that is, “may the goddesses protect this sacrifice!”—“keeping off want and ill-will,”—want is hunger: thus, “keeping off hunger;”—“granting to the lord of the sacrifice a share in wealth-affluence,” that is, “granting to the lord of the sacrifice a share in wealth and in affluence;” 'may the sacrifice be founded on wealth-affluence!'—that is, “may the sacrifice be founded on wealth and affluence!”
