9. The three after-offerings are these its three downward breathings; and the Saktavâka and Samyorvåka its arms (or fore-feet); the four Patnisam. yágas the four supports—the two thighs and the two knee-bones; and the Samishtayagus is the two (hind) feet.
10. These are twenty-one offerings;—two libations of ghee, five fore-offerings, two butter-portions, and Agni's cake: this makes ten; Agni and Soma's lowvoiced offering, Agni and Soma's cake, the Agni Svishtakrit, the Ida, three after-offerings, the Saktavâka, the Samyorváka, further his seizing (the two spoons) at the same time there at the Patnisamyågas, and (last) the Samishtayagus.
11. These are twenty-one offerings,—there are twelve months and five seasons in a year; and three worlds—that makes twenty; and yonder burning (sun) is the twenty-first-that is the goal, that the resting-place: he thus reaches that goal, that restingplace.
12. Now, as to this Âruni said, 'Every halfmonth, indeed, I become a sharer of the same world with yonder sun: that is the perfection of the Full and New-moon sacrifices which I know.'
