Having gone round (the Bali) from left to right, he sits down to the west of the Bali with (the words), ‘The serpent art thou; the lord of the creeping serpents art thou; by food thou protectest men, by cake the serpents, by sacrifice the gods. To me, being in thee, the serpents being in thee should do no harm. I give over the firm one (i.e. the spoon) to thee.’ 11. ‘Firm one, (I give) N. N. (in charge) to thee! Firm one, (I give) N. N.

The Agrayana sacrifice, which is offered whten the sacrificer is going to partake of the first-fruits of the harvest, is treated of, with relation to a sacrificer who keeps the Srauta fires, in the Srautasiitra II, 9. This Satra in my opinion should be understood as a supplementary addition to that chapter. Ndardyama refers the rule here given to the case of any incident or danger (A4pad) which prevents the sacrificer from performing the ceremony in its fuller form, as prescribed in the Srauta-satra. 204 AsvALAYANA-GRIHYA-SOTRA. Agrayama sacrifice by one who has set up the (sacred Srauta) fires.
