" What sixth ?" "Five rivers with blue lotus and white lotus,having honey as water, [were] flowing; in them there wasdancing and singing, sound of lutes, crowds of Apsarases, fra-grance, a great noise." "Yes," he (V.) said; "these were justmy worlds." "Bywhat aretheyto be won?" "Bythis samethat is five times dipped out, five times drawn up." He said:"Not indeed is there an opportunity for the conquest of woridsotherwise than by the aMnihotra. To-day is my fast-day pre-ceding the building of tie sacrificial fire." Thus they did forhim. He who knowing thus of3Sershe agnihotra, neither do thetrees in yonder world, having taken human form, eat him in theirturn, nor the animals, nor rice and barley; nor do his sacrificesand good works go to Faith and Non-Faith.

For these exclamations expi-piate everything. As one would mend gold with salt, silvel withgold, tin with silver, copper with tin, iron with copper, wood withiron, wood and leather with glue, even so one knowing thus cureseverything.This they say: " If with the wordls: ' He hath ofEered or me,he hath dipped the dippings for me,' they lead the sacrificial giftsto the-Adhvaryu; if with the words: 'He hath SUllg the pastrafor me, he hath uttered the vasat for rne,' to the Hotar; if viththe words: ' He hath sung the udgbtha for me,' to the Udgatar;now then- to the Brahman having done what, while he sat insilence, do they lead just as large sacrificial gifts as to the otherpriests ?" Let him say: " He, indeed, shareth in half of the sac-rifice, for he carrieth half of the sacrifice." Indeed thx3y ormerlyused to lead half of the sacrificial gifts to the Brahman-priest,half to the other priests. Of this there is the following plokss:
