15. Now there is an enclosed space on the north side: whilst proceeding towards that (shed) they mutter (Vajasaneyi Samhita XXXVII, 7; Rig-v. I, 40, 3), “May Brahmanaspati go forward!”—Brahmanaspati (the lord of devotion) doubtless is he that shines yonder, and the Pravargya also is that one: it is him he thus gratifies; hence he says, “May Brahmanaspati go forward;”—“may the goddess Gladness go forward!”—for the goddess Gladness she (Vac) is;—“unto the hero, kindly to men and the dispenser of fivefold (offerings),”—he thereby praises and magnifies it (the Pravargya),—“unto the sacrifice may the gods lead us!”—he thereby makes all the gods its guardians.
