यजुर्वेदे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

घृतवति शब्दे जुहूपभृताव् आदाय

At the time of the word ghr̥tavat (being uttered by the Hotr̥), having taken the Juhū and the Upabhr̥t, moved one step towards the South,¹ (the Adhvaryu) offers five Prayājas (fore-offerings) from west to east, in the west of the place where the Āghāra-libations have conjoined.²

प्रतिदिशं वा समिधः पुरस्तात्, तनूनपातं दक्षिणत, इडः पश्चाद्, बर्हिर् उत्तरतः, स्वाहाकारं मध्ये २

Or (he offers them) in each direction: thus (he offers) to Samidhs in the east; to Tanūnapat in the South, to Iḍs in the west; to Barhis in the north, to Svāhākāra in the centre-

आश्रावमाश्रावं प्रत्याश्राविते समिधो यजेति प्रथमं सम्प्रेष्यति । यज यजेतीतरान् ४

थिते

After every call (given by the Adhvaryu) for astu śrauṣaṭ, the Āgnīdhra has responded by saying aśtu śrauṣaṭ,¹ the Adhvaryu first orders “Do you recite offering verse (o Hotr̥) in connection with Samidhs”.¹ In connection with the other fore-offerings he utters “Do you recite offering verse (o Hotr̥).”

आश्रावमाश्रावं प्रत्याश्राविते समिधो यजेति प्रथमं सम्प्रेष्यति । यज यजेतीतरान् ४

थिते

In the case (of a sacrificer) about whom (the Adhvaryu) desires, “May (the sacrificer) be wealthier, he should offer (each fore-offering) while stepping forward¹." (In the case of a sacrificer) about whom (the Adhvaryu) desires, “May (the sacrificer) be more poor” (he should offer each fore-offering) while stepping backwards. In the case (of a sacrificer) about whom (the Adhvaryu) desires, “May (the sacrificer) be neither wealthier nor poorer, (he should offer each fore-offering), standing at the same place."

यं कामयेताभितरं वसीयान्स्यादित्यभिक्रामं तस्य जुहुयादवतरं पापीयानिति प्रतिक्रामं न वसीयान्न पापीयानिति समानत्र तिष्ठन् ५

त्रीनिष्ट्वार्धमौपभृतस्य जुह्वामानीयोत्तराविष्ट्वा प्रत्याक्रम्य शेषेण ध्रुवामभिघार्यानुपूर्वं हवींष्यभिघारयत्युपभृतमन्ततः ६

थिते

Having offered three (fore-offerings), having poured half of the ghee form the Upabhr̥t(-ladle) into the Juhū(-ladle) having offered the next two (fore-offerings),¹ having stepped back, having poured the remaining (ghee) into the Dhruvā( ladle) he pours ghee on the oblation-materials in accordance with their sequence and lastly on the Upabhr̥t.

त्रीनिष्ट्वार्धमौपभृतस्य जुह्वामानीयोत्तराविष्ट्वा प्रत्याक्रम्य शेषेण ध्रुवामभिघार्यानुपूर्वं हवींष्यभिघारयत्युपभृतमन्ततः ६

न हवींष्यभिघारयेद्द्वेष्यस्य । आयतने स्रुचौ सादयति ७

थिते

In the case of a (sacrificer) whom he hates, he should not pour ghee on the oblation(-materials). He then keeps the two ladles (viz. Juhû and Upabhr̥t) on their place¹.

न हवींष्यभिघारयेद्द्वेष्यस्य । आयतने स्रुचौ सादयति ७
