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.
5.21.1 "The third offering one makes should be made with the words 'Svaha to the downward breath.' The downward breath is satisfied.
5.21.2 "When the downward breath is satisfied, speech is satisfied. When speech is satisfied, fire is satisfied. When fire is satisfied, the earth is satisfied. When the earth is satisfied, whatever the earth and fire 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."
