8. And on the fourth day, after those (three) offerings have been performed in the same way, there is the same course of procedure. “Adhvaryu!” he (the Hotri) says.—“Havai hotar!” replies the Adhvaryu.—“King Soma Vaishnava,” he says; 'his people are the Apsaras, and they are staying here;'—handsome maidens have come thither: it is these he instructs;—“The Aṅgiras are the Veda: this it is;” thus saying, let him go over one section of the Aṅgiras, as if reciting it. The Adhvaryu calls in the same way (on the masters of lute-players), but does not perform the Prakrama oblations.
