10. They spake, “How, then, reverend sir, is (the Ashvina-shastra properly) recited and how is the recitation not disturbed?” He spake, “When the Hotri, in reciting the Ashvina-shastra, reaches the end of the Gayatra metre of the Agneya-kratu, the Pratiprasthatri should carry round the Vasativari water, and bespeak the Pratar-anuvaka for the Maitravaruna (seated) between the two Havirdhana (carts containing the offering-material). The Hotri recites (the Ashvina-shastra) in a loud voice, and the other (the Maitravaruna) repeats (the morning-litany) in a low voice, only just muttering it: in this way he does not run counter to (the Hotri”s) speech by (his own) speech, nor metre by metre.
