Then the sacrificer offers an oblation, reciting thus: Adoration to Agni, who dwells in the earth-world! Secure this world for me, the sacrificer. That is the world for the sacrificer. I, the sacrificer, will go thither when this life is over. Svaha! Afterwards the sacrificer chants: Cast away the bolt of the earth-world. Having said this, he rises. To him the Vasus offer the world connected with the morning oblation.
