17. As to this they say, “How do these (Maruta oblations) also come to be offered for him by the offering-ladle, at the Vashat-call, and with invitatory and offering formulas?” Well, the first three feet of those seven-footed Maruta (verses), being a three-footed Gayatri, are the invitatory formula, and the last four, being a four-footed Trishtubh, are the offering-formula. The one is the bowl, and the other the handle (of the offering-ladle), and the Svaha-call is the Vashat-call: in this way, then, these (Maruta oblations) also become offered for him by the offering-ladle, at the Vashat-call, and with invitatory and offering-formulas.
