Preview of English translation:

11. “When the Pratar-anuvaka has been completed, he (the Pratiprasthatri), having offered, at their proper time, the Upamshu and Antaryama cups, presses out the straining-cloth and puts it in the Dronakalasha. And when ye have performed the (offering of the cups of) fermented Soma, and returned (to the Sadas), ye should drink the fermented Soma (remaining in those cups). Having then, in the proper form, completed the "tail of the sacrifice," and taken up the cups of Soma (drawn) subsequent to the Antaryama, and offered the oblation of drops, as well as the Santani-oblation, ye should perform the Bahishpavamana chant, and enter upon the day (-performance).”
