2. For the offerings to come towards gods , they have been named to identify it with the right ones calling their names. so each of the libation(ahuti) is done chanting the name of the god.
now comes the ways in which the gods are called , how this is done decides the pathways or
passage of the sacrificer to ascend to heaven. Here a hotr (leader among rig vedi ritvij (group
of priests)) invokes the gods in the right ways and the Adhvaryu (the leader in among the
yajur vedi ritvij ) pours the libations.
3. Once this is completed, the consecrated one is like a embyro , clear of all faults and pure.
water is sprinkled on them symbolizing the nurturing of this seed consecrated. now with fresh
butter , the sacrificer is anointed completely , the devas appertains this to the melted butter to
which they are associated with . now the brilliance of consecration enters him. Now with 21
handful of dharba , the consecrated one is purified. Now he is escorted to the hut which is
consecrated just like the embryo being sent back to the womb. the sun will rise and set
everywhere except the hut of the consecrated ( the sacrificer should remain aloof from the
sun till the process is completed) , now he is covered with a garment like the caul of the
embryo , above that there is an black antelope skin just like the placenta covering the embryo.
He closes his hand like an embryo and thus clasps the sacrifice and the deities in his
hands(sankalapa) . then he looses the black antelope skin and then descends to the final bath.
now garment is dropped and just like the embryo is freed from the placenta , with this act the
sacrificer is born as the new consecrated child devoid of impurities or blemishes.
