5.20.1 "The second offering one makes should be made with the words 'Svaha to the pervading breath.' The pervading breath is satisfied.
5.20.2 "When the pervading breath is satisfied, the ear is satisfied. When the ear is satisfied, the moon is satisfied. When the moon is satisfied, the directions are satisfied. When the directions are satisfied, whatever the directions and the moon 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."

When the directions are satisfied, everything ruled by the directions and the moon is satisfied.
