17. Placing himself near the (Sacrificer's) right arm, he then anoints him, with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XVIII, 3-7), “At the impulse of the divine Savitri, I anoint thee, by the arms of the Ashvins, by the hands of Pushan, by the support of Sarasvati Vac, the supporter, by the universal sovereignty of Agni!”—for Sarasvati is Vac (speech), and hers is all this support. Impelled by Savitri, he thus anoints him by all this support of Sarasvati Vac, the supporter, and by the universal sovereignty of Agni. Here he throws the cup (into the fire), lest what is anointed (with offering material) should remain outside the fire.
