6. Now the gods, having gratified him (Agni) by this food, or by these objects of desire, and having anointed him by this shower of wealth, solicited from him these objects of desire; and having received offering, and being gratified and anointed, he granted them these objects of desire; and in like manner this (Sacrificer), having gratified him by this food, and by these offerings of desire, and anointed him with this shower of wealth, now solicits from him these objects of desire; and having received offering, and being gratified and anointed, he (Agni) grants him these objects of desire. In order to avoid discontinuance, he each time embraces two wishes,—even as one would connect those living away from one another,—thinking, “In this way shall they prosper by sacrifice!”
