yvk.6.6	The theologians say, Mitra appropriates the well performed part of the sacrifice, Varuna the ill performed; where then is the sacrifice, and where the sacrificer?; In that he offers a cow to Mitra and Varuna, by Mitra [3] he propitiates the we l performed part of the sacrifice, by Varuna the ill performed; the sacrificer is not ruined.
yvk.6.6	Even as men plough the field with the plough, so do the Rc and the Saman plough the sacrifice; in that he offers a cow to Mitra and Varuna, verily he rolls a roller over the ploughed up sacrifice, for atonement.
yvk.6.6	The metres of him who has sacrificed are worn out, the cow is the sap of the metres; in that he offers the cow to Mitra and Varuna, he again delights the metres, to drive away weariness; verily also he bestows sap upon the metres.
