12. And inasmuch as the fore-offerings are without invitatory formulas, therefore creatures are horn here without teeth; and inasmuch as the chief oblations have invitatory formulas, therefore they (the teeth) grow in them; and inasmuch as the after-offerings are without invitatory formulas, therefore they (the teeth) decay in them; and inasmuch as the Patnisamyajas as have invitatory formulas, therefore they (the teeth) come to remain permanently with them; and inasmuch as the Samishtayajus is without invitatory formula, therefore they all decay again in the last stage of life.
