He says Sv\u00e2h\u00e2, and then he offers the Balis\u2014\n4. To those same deities, to the waters, to the herbs and trees, to the house, to the domestic deities, to the deities of the ground (on which the house stands),\n5 5. To Indra and Indra's men, to Yama and Yama's men, to Varuna and Varuna's men, to Soma and Soma's men\u2014these (oblations he makes) to the different quarters (of the horizon, of which those are the presiding deities).\n6. To Brahman and Brahman's men in the middle,\n7. To the Visve dev\u00e2s, to all day-walking beings\u2014thus by day;\n8. To the night-walking (beings)\u2014thus at night.\n9.

In this case we should have to translate,\n(2) With the words, 'To the deities of the Agnihotra (i.e. to Agni, to S\u00fbrya, to Prag\u00e2pati), to Soma Vanaspati, &c., sv\u00e2h\u00e2!'\n(3) Then (follows) the offering of the Balis.\nComp.
