Preview of English translation:

8. Concerning this they say, “Were he to offer at each opening of sacrifice, he would be deprived of his cattle, and would become poorer.” They should be performed once only: thus he is not deprived of his cattle, and does not become poorer. Forty-eight (oblations) he offers;—the Jagati consists of forty-eight syllables, and cattle are of Jagata (movable) nature: by means of the Jagati he (the Adhvaryu) thus wins cattle for him (the Sacrificer). One additional (oblation) he offers, whence one man is apt to thrive amongst (many) creatures (or subjects).
