Preview of English translation:

1. Verily, whosoever knows the six pairs in the Agnihotra, has offspring born to him by pair after pair, by all generations. The Sacrificer and his wife—this is one pair: through it his Agnihotra would be possessed of a wife,—“May I obtain this pair!” he thinks. The calf and the Agnihotra-cow—this is another pair: through it his Agnihotra-cow would become possessed of a male calf,—“May I obtain this pair!” he thinks. The pot and the coals—this is another pair; the offering-spoon and the dipping-spoon—this is another pair; the Ahavaniya fire and the log—this is another pair; the libation and the Svaha-call—this is another pair: these, doubtless, are the six pairs in the Agnihotra; and he who thus knows them, has offspring born to him by pair after pair, by all generations.
