1bring hither thine own greatness!’ Asval. II, 19, 8 apparently substitutes ‘ Bring hither Agni Kavyavéhana !’ cf. further on, par. 30. ’ ‘The Adhvaryu, having offered the two libations of butter, and called for the Srausha/,’ K4ava recension. * On the pravara, or election of the (divine and human) Hotry, see I, 4, 2, 1 seq., 5,1,1 Seq.

Thereupon they proceed with the two butter-portions ; and having offered the two butter-portions,— 24. They all shift their sacrificial cord over to the right shoulder, being now about to proceed with those (chief) oblations. The Sacrificer and Brahman, (being) thus (invested), step across (from the west) to the east side, and the Agntdhra (from the east) to the west side (of the fire). And furthermore, the (Adhvaryu’s) call for the ‘Srausha?’ is ‘Om svadh4!’ and the (Agnidhra’s) response is ‘ Astu svadh4'!!’ and the Vashaté-call is ‘Svadha namak!’ 25. As to this, Asuri said, ‘Let them call for the Srausha¢ (by “O Sravaya”), and let them respond with the “(Astu) Srausha/¢,” and let them pronounce the “ Vasha/¢,” lest we should depart from the manner of the sacrifice.’ 26. [The Adhvaryu] then says, ‘ Pronounce the invitatory prayer to the fathers, accompanied by Soma!’ or ‘—to Soma, accompanied by the fathers !'"—Two invitatory prayers he (the Hotr2) pronounces (at the offerings), because it is with one that one moves the gods, and with two the fathers, since the fathers have departed once (for all)?: hence he pronounces two invitatory prayers. 1 At the sacrifice to the Manes, the Agnfdhra, when uttering his response, stands south of the Adhvaryu. See p. 132, note. The first syllable of ‘svadha’ is protracted. According to the comm. on Katy.
