Preview of English translation:
18. Verily this sacrifice is Prajapati, and Prajapati is both of this, defined and undefined, limited and unlimited. Whatever one does with a Yajus formula, by that one makes up that form of him (Prajapati) which is defined and limited; and whatever one does silently, by that one makes up that form of him which is undefined and unlimited: verily, then, whosoever, knowing this, does it on this wise, makes up that whole and complete Prajapati. But he also leaves over a lump of spare (clay) for expiations.
