Musean translation
Complete machine-assisted Musean translation made directly from the Sanskrit, independently of the Plain English edition. All eight books and the closing invocation are retained.
5.19.1 "The first food that comes to hand is to be offered. The first offering one makes should be made with the words 'Svaha to the life-breath.' The life-breath is satisfied.
5.19.2 "When the life-breath is satisfied, the eye is satisfied. When the eye is satisfied, the sun is satisfied. When the sun is satisfied, heaven is satisfied. When heaven is satisfied, whatever heaven and the sun preside over is satisfied. In the wake of their satisfaction, the offerer is satisfied—with offspring, cattle, food to eat, splendor, and the radiance of sacred learning."
Plain English translation
Complete machine-assisted Plain English translation made independently and directly from the Sanskrit, not from the Musean edition. All eight books and the closing invocation are retained.
5.19.1 The first food that comes should be used for an offering. The first offering should be made with the words, "Svaha to the life-breath!" The life-breath is satisfied.
5.19.2 When the life-breath is satisfied, sight is satisfied. When sight is satisfied, the sun is satisfied. When the sun is satisfied, heaven is satisfied. When heaven is satisfied, everything ruled by heaven and the sun is satisfied. As that is satisfied, the person making the offering is satisfied with children, livestock, food to eat, vigor, and the radiance of sacred knowledge.
