Preview of English translation:
1. He performs the animal sacrifice. Now the animal sacrifice means cattle: thus, when he performs the animal sacrifice (pashubandha, the binding of the animal), it is in order that he may be possessed of cattle. Let him perform it at his home, thinking, “I will bind (attach) cattle to my home.” Let him perform it in the season of abundant fodder, thinking, “I will bind to myself cattle in a season of abundant fodder.” For, whilst he is offering, the Sacrificer’s fires become worn out, and so does the Sacrificer, along with the worn-out fires, and along with the Sacrificer his house and cattle.
