Svaha!’ 13. Having silently poured out the two Agharas (or Agya oblations poured out with the Sruva, the one from north-west to south-east, the other from south-west to north-east), he should sacrifice the two Agya portions with (the formulas), ‘To Agni svaha! To Soma svaha!’— 14. The northern one belonging to Agni, the southern one to Soma. 15. It is understood (in the Sruti), ‘ The two eyes indeed of the sacrifice are the A sya portions, 16. ‘ Therefore of a man who is sitting with his face to the west the southern (i.e. right) eye is northern, the northern (i.e. left) eye is southern.’ 17.

It is doubtful whether this paragraph should be considered as forming part of the quotation from the Sruti. The object of this passage is, in my opinion, to explain why the southern Agyabhaga belongs to Soma, who is the presiding deity of the north, and the northern Agyabhiga to Agni, the presiding deity of the south-east.

To Agni Svishéakrtt, to him who offers the oblations for general expiation, so that they are well offered, to him who makes us succeed in what we desire! Make us in all that we desire successful!
