(saḥ) pāpaiḥ hriyate vā kṛṣyate (iti) yajñaḥ paśubhiḥ sārdham ūrdhvam eti santarpitaḥ (san) ca kāmaiḥ tarpayate

17. Indeed, that Brahmin (brāhmaṇaḥ) who performs a Vedic ritual (yajña) according to the Vedic scriptures is neither carried away nor dragged down by evils (pāpaiḥ). The Vedic ritual (yajñaḥ) itself ascends upwards, together with the animals (paśubhiḥ sārdham) [offered therein]. Being well-satisfied [by the offerings], it (the Vedic ritual) also fulfills desires.
