5. With parched grain he makes offering; for this—to wit, parched grain—is a form of the Nakshatras (lunar asterisms): it is the Nakshatras he thus gratifies. He offers whilst mentioning names, with (Vaj. XXII, 23-33), “To the in- (and out-) breathing hail! to the off-breathing hail!” . . . he thus gratifies them by mentioning their names. [Vajasaneyi Samhita XXII, 34], “To one hail! to two hail! . . . to a hundred hail! to a hundred and one hail!” He offers in the proper order: in the proper order he thus gratifies them (the gods). He performs oblations successively increasing by one, for single, indeed, is heaven: singly he thus causes him (the Sacrificer) to reach heaven. Straight away he offers in order to the winning of heaven; for straight away, as it were, is heaven.
