yvk.2.6 In that he puts the bundle on the Ahavaniya, he makes the sacrificer
yvk.3.1 The Ahavaniya is the sacrificer; if they take (the fire) for cooking the victim from the Ahavaniya, they tear the sacrificer asunder; the fire should therefore be thus, or he should make it by friction, so that the sacrificer s body may remain together.
yvk.3.2 c Homage to Agni, slayer of Makha; may the glory of Makha impel me (with these words) he reverences the Ahavaniya.

yvk.6.1 For this world the Garhapatya fire is piled up; for yonder world the Ahavaniya.
yvk.6.1 If he were to cast it on the Garhapatya fire, he would be rich in cattle in this world; if on the Ahavaniya, he would be rich in cattle in yonder world he casts it on both; verily he makes him rich in cattle in both worlds.

yvk.6.2 It should be sloping east of the Ahavaniya and west of the Garhapatya.
yvk.6.2 [3] the sounding holes are the vital airs, the pressing boards the jaws, the skin the tongue, the pressing stones the teeth the Ahavaniya the mouth, the high altar the nose, the Sadas the stomach.
yvk.6.2 When he eats with his tongue on his teeth, (the food) goes to the mouth; when it goes to the mouth, then it goes to the stomach, therefore they press (the juice) with the pressing stones on the oblation holder over the skin, sacrifice in the Ahavaniya, retire towards the west, and consume (the Soma) in the Sadas.
yvk.6.3 the Ahavaniya, the Agnidh s altar, the Hotr s, and the Marjaliya; therefore they sacrifice on them.

yvk.6.3 As the beast is borne along the Raksases follow after it; he takes it between the sacrificial post and the Ahavaniya, to smite away the Raksases.
yvk.6.4 For this world the Garhapatya is established, for yonder the Ahavaniya; if he were to place (them) on the Garhapatya, he would have cattle in this world, if on the Ahavaniya, in yonder
yvk.6.5 If the Adhvaryu desire, May I bestow upon myself the glory of the sacrifice standing between the Ahavaniya nd the oblation holder he should pour (it) down
