12:1:3:1515. And when they enter upon the Visvagit (day) they indeed offer sacrifice to the deity Indra: they become the deity Indra, and attain to fellowship and co-existence with Indra. The Prishthya and Abhiplava (shadahas) have been told.

12:1:3:1616. And when they enter upon (the performance of) the Go and Âyus (stoma) 1 they indeed offer sacrifice to the deities Mitra and Varuna: they

p. 143

become the deities Mitra and Varuna, and attain to fellowship and co-existence with Mitra and Varuna.

12:1:3:1717. And when they enter upon the Dasarâtra they indeed offer sacrifice to that deity the Visve Devâh: they become that deity, the Visve Devâh, and attain to fellowship and co-existence with the Visve Devâh.

12:1:3:1818. And when they enter upon the Prishthya-shadaha of the Dasarâtra they indeed offer sacrifice to those deities, the Regions: they become those deities, the Regions, and attain to fellowship and co-existence with the Regions.

12:1:3:2222. And when they enter upon the concluding Atirâtra (of the sacrificial session), then, indeed, having gained the Year, they establish themselves in the world of heaven. And were any one to ask them, 'To what deity are ye offering sacrifice this day? what deity are ye? with what deity do ye dwell?' let them name of those (deities) the one to whom they may be nearest (in the performance of the Sattra). And,

p. 144

verily, such (sacrificers) are seated (sad) in the good 1 (place), for they are for ever seated among the good deities; and the others are mere partakers in the sacrificial session 2; and if any one were, during a sacrificial session, to speak evil of such initiates as know this, let them say to him, 'We cut thee off from those deities;' and he becomes the worse, and they themselves become the better for it.

12:1:3:2323. That same year contains three great rites (mahâvrata):--the great rite on the Katurvimsa day, the great rite on the Vishuvat day, and the great rite 3 on the Mahâvrata day itself. Now, those of old used, indeed, to enter upon (perform) that (year's session) with three great rites, and they became glorious, truth-speaking, and faithful to their vow; but if nowadays any (sattrins) were to perform it on this wise, they assuredly would crumble away even as a jar of unbaked clay would crumble away if water were poured into it. They (who do so) perform too much: that (object) of theirs is gained by truth, by toil, by fervid devotion, by faith, by sacrifice, and by oblations.

144:1 Or, in the true, abiding (place)--sati.

144:2 That is, those who perform a sacrificial session (sattra) without their possessing the esoteric knowledge regarding the several ceremonies, set forth in the preceding paragraphs, are mere 'sattrasadah' (i.e. 'merely sitting through the sacrificial session') whilst those possessing that knowledge are 'sari sadah.'
