meaning
Prajāpati created the creatures; those created were guarded by Indra and Agni; so Prajāpati spoke: "Indra and Agni, may my creatures not be harmed"; he beheld this eleven-kapāla oblation to Indra-Agni, performed it, and they procured offspring for him—for Indra and Agni guard the creatures of whoever is fit for progeny, and he who lacks the Indra-Agni eleven-kapāla oblation finds no offspring;...

meaning
By that very apportionment one rushes forward; thus to him who desires offspring, offspring is obtained; Indra and Agni with eleven kapālas one should offer, competing (in that rite), and in the field among those born together—thus Indra-Agni by their own apportionment rush forward; from them strength and virility are won, the rival's strength is cut away, by the rival one is conquered, or from...

meaning
Indra and Agni, with their own proper share, run forth together; thus I obtain the senses and strength; with these senses and strength I proceed and conquer the battle—this battle is upheld by the senses and strength—whoever conquers the battle with Indra-Agni as an eleven-kapala oblation, Indra-Agni run forth with their own proper share; thus I obtain the senses and strength.

meaning
One holds strength through the senses and vigor, by which increase is made; from this the senses and strength of one departing to the people slip away—the Indra-Agni oblation with eleven cups is offered to the people; similarly to Indya-Agni goes with its own allotted portion—thus we hold the senses and strength; with senses and vigor one offers to the people, and this Paushnyan porridge is...

meaning
He who runs forward with his own allotted share bestows upon him both sense-power and vigor; the lord of the field stands firm in this very way, and over the eleven-cupped Indra-Agni oblation he places vigor and sense-power, establishing the self.

meaning
Agni, made the path, receives the eight-kapala cake offering at new and full moon sacrifices; whoever performs the new and full moon rite establishes him on the path, and Agni himself, enriched by his own share of the oblation, leads that sacrificer both from the path and along the path with a gift of the south—thus Agni the Lord of vows prospers through abundance.

meaning
One who offers an eight-caked oblation to Agni, conducting himself as if under a vow with kindled fire, obtains that vow through Agni as vow-keeper by proceeding with his own share of offering; likewise one who offers an eight-caked oblation to Indra the demon-slayer, moving as Agni the slayer of demons, reaches thus that demon-slaying power by his own portion of offering.

meaning
The oblation with eight cups is offered to Agni the destroyer-of-demons, whose fierce form protects from harm, and to Rudra the fragrant, that cattle and men may be safeguarded.

meaning
Thus he recites these successive offerings—those before and after—by which men are satisfied; the puruṣāhuti is most dear to Agni of the kṣāma, whom he gratifies with an eight-kapāla porridge-cake appointed to his share, and thus no further life-span is diminished; thus too he recites the dwellings of this one—whose dwellings Agni of the kṣāma consumes when he gratifies him with an eight-kapāla...

meaning
For Agni with desire, one offers an eight-kapala cake; desire does not abandon him—Agni himself carries desire by his own allotted share, and thus he fulfills desire with desire; desire bows to Agni; he who offers the eight-kapala cake while contending, whether in the field or among kinsmen, Agni himself carries him by his own allotted share, and thus the strength and virility of the rival...

meaning
He conquers impurity through fraternal victory; for the youthful Agni he spreads the eight-caked rice-cake offering, and serving thus with his own share in the allotment, he runs near—that very one wards off sin-stains for us, he protects; for the life-endowed Agni, whoever spreads the eight-caked offering desiring all life-breath, to youthful Agni he runs with his own apportioned share, and thus...

meaning
He who desires prosperity grants life to all life through Agni the knower-of-births by offering the eight-caked cake; Agni himself, resplendent in his own share, bestows that prosperity—and he who desires radiance offers the same to the gleaming Agni; Agni the radiant bestows radiance in his own portion, and he who desires lustre offers to Agni the mighty in tejas through the eight-caked cake.

When one pours the eight-palmed oblation desiring radiance, approaching Agni like radiance itself, he hastens with his own allotted share, and thus he bestows that radiance—becoming radiant—and for Agni's strength-bringing porridge of eight palms, when one pours it seeking strength, like Agni itself, he hastens with his own allotted share, and by that very strength he endures the sacrifice he...

meaning
For Agni the food-increaser, one offers an eight-kapala cake of rice, desiring "may I be a food-increaser"—Agni himself becomes the food-increaser through his own allotted share; for Agni the food-eater, one offers an eight-kapala cake, desiring "may I be a food-eater"—Agni himself becomes the food-eater, and thus becomes the food-lord.

meaning
Thus one should offer an eight-palmed cake of cooked rice to Agni the Lord of Food, desiring "May I become the Lord of Food"—for by offering to Agni he becomes the Lord of Food, and he flows along with his own allotted share; thus he makes him the Lord of Food; and one should offer an eight-palmed cake to Agni the Purifier, to Agni the Luminous One—when one offers to Agni the Purifier, one places...

When one is blind, verily he sees for Agni, the father-of-sons, an eight-cake offering is laid down; for Indra, the son-bearer, an eleven-cake offering is laid down—may Agni, the desire-fulfiller, beget for him the abundant progeny; Indra grants forth, and for Agni the sap-possessing, a milk-rice-cake is laid down for him who desires to become sap-possessing—thus Agni himself becomes...

Like essence in water, so does she become in the unpressed milk; like the Agneyi oblation, this goat-milk directly restrains the essence—to Agni of wealth, the eight-caked puroḍāś offered, he desires wealth: thus Agni becomes wealthy, and by his own share-allotment he flows forth, and so he makes him wealthy; like wealth does she become to Agni of the waters, the eight-caked puroḍāś offered in...

meaning
Through the share-portion he quiets both; the sacrificer does not seek distress for Agni the luminous, and sets down the eight-cake offering with eight potsherds—that Agni being lifted up is offered in the Agnihōtra, and another lamp being kindled and lifted thus they say—therefore this share-portion should not be done if previously drawn forth.

meaning
When Vaishvānara becomes a twelve-palmed vessel, the year itself becomes Agni; Vaishvānara consumes sin by that year, Varuṇa releases him from Varuṇa's bonds, Dadhikrāvṇ purifies him, gold with southward oblation purifies him, and gold purifies him—thus one should offer these same oblations for the desire of progeny, the year being the vessel.

meaning
He who does not kindle fire for progeny loses offspring; he who kindles for progeny finds them—when the Aśvanar becomes twelve-kapāla, the year itself is that Aśvanar, and by his apportioned share Agni pacifies it; thus for him the peaceful, sweet-sourced progeny is generated, and by Varuṇa he is freed from Varuṇa's bonds; the voice of Dadhikrāvan purifies, and gold with dakṣiṇā purifies—thus by...

When the eight-kapala oblation is offered at the birth of the son, it purifies with brahmic lustre; the nine-kapala offering bestows radiance; the ten-kapala bestows nourishment; the eleven-kapala bestows the senses; the twelve-kapala bestows cattle—thus in whichever sacrifice the newborn is offered, he becomes purified, energetic, and well-nourished.

meaning
Thus with vigor, food, and senses does one become possessed of cattle; verily this world of heaven is severed for him who performs the new and full moon sacrifices—by establishing the new moon and full moon rites one reaches the heavenly world, for the new and full moon sacrifices are woven into Vaiśvānara; the twelve-portioned Vaiśvānara fire, when the new moon and full moon oblations are...

Now the deities, beginning thus with the world of heaven, the Agni that is kindled—this is the deity of the gods—and the Brahmins of old, having eaten the Agneyam eight-cakeled oblation and the Vaiśvānara twelve-cakeled oblation, will kindle Agni; when the eight-caked oblation comes to be, eight-syllabled is the Gāyatrī—Agni is as much as there is—from this Agni hospitality is made, and as he...

meaning
The twelve-kapala Vaishvānara fire becomes the year of twelve months; the year is indeed the womb of Agni, and by this womb-means the Lord conveys it—without this the Vaishvānara of twelve kapalas is not properly offered; the seven-kapala Māruta wind dwells in the household altar for village desire, the Vaishvānara in the offering-fire, the Māruta in the household for the sustenance of...

meaning
The Maruts, who are the twenty gods, through the divine form of the Maruts themselves establish the human form in the sacrificer; they become seven-headed, and the seven groups of Maruts, as it were, establish the well-born progeny in him, and the recited [mantras] settle [him] in due measure, making him follow the path of equality.

meaning
The Adityas and the twelve-chambered Vaishvanara fire-offering constitute the abode of the gods; from this abode the gods vanquish the asuras, and whoever performs the twelve-chambered Vaishvanara offering achieves victory in that battle, whereupon the two enemies are destroyed.

He who among the two rivals covets the food of Vaishvânara's twelve-spooned offering—when both have eaten, the year, which is Agni Vaishvânara, consumes him; the year is not defiled; for these two who are made equal, whoever of them first transgresses, him Varuṇa seizes in the twelve-spooned offering of the equaled pair—the year, which is Agni Vaishvânara, having obtained the transgressor,...

Having yoked the horse, he does not release it without foundation; thus indeed the horse, returning again, he offers; thus he yokes it—by the share-portion he releases it for establishment; by the rope with which he bound it, to brotherhood he impels it—thus indeed he impels non-violation to him.

The Indra-chariot offering secures livestock; cattle are indeed Indra's own portion—by his allotted share he approaches—thus he grants livestock to the sacrificer, becoming possessed of animals and chariot, and from that same source generates offspring for Indra; the eleven-kapala rice-cake offering likewise secures the faculty of sense, for faculties are Indra—by his allotted portion he...

Thus he grants the senses to the sacrificer like beasts; for Indra's sake he offers an eleven-kapala cake, desiring Brahmavarkas—the heat is Brahmavarkas itself, it becomes Indra; with his own share-portion he runs after it, thus he bestows Brahmavarkas upon this one—for Indra's sake he offers an eleven-kapala cake, desiring—the ray is indeed the devas' food, not Indra's—the ray becomes Indra;...

When one offers the eleven-kapala cake to Indra with the hotṛ-chant, one thereby bestows upon him food itself; when one offers it with the indriya-chant, one bestows his very self; and when one offers it with the arka-chant, one establishes him in nourishment—thus through these oblations to Indra, the sacrificer secures prosperity.

meaning
By offering the eleven-kapala purohit to Indra, one releases sin grasped by evil; by his own portion-allotment Indra flows forth and thus frees him from sin, and to Indra the Mighty One the eleven-kapala purohit is offered so that through strength the kingdoms do not tremble—thus by his own share Indra flows and so delivers us from evil.

meaning
When one offers the eleven-kapala puroḍāśa to Indra as protector, whether bound or unbound, one thereby secures Indra himself as protector through one's own allotted share, and thus is protected; similarly when one offers the eleven-kapala puroḍāśa in the aśvamedha rite to Indra, if the great sacrifice does not bow down, then at the end of the great sacrifice one possesses that very body, and in...

meaning
For Indra he prepares the rice-cake with eleven cups, desiring the village; Indra indeed moves with his own allotted share, thus he makes offspring and kin for him, and it becomes as though of the village; for Indra's wife he prepares the cooked rice, for whose army would be unharmed—Indrani is indeed the goddess of the army—Indrani herself moves with her own allotted share, thus her army becomes...

meaning
He who is united in battle by might and mind conquers Indra, the furious, the minded one; swift in his own allotted share he rushes forth—thus does he establish in himself this faculty of mind and might, and he conquers, he conquers in battle.

meaning
One who offers this eleven-caked oblation to Indra with the desire for gift-giving shall have offspring desirous of giving, for thus Indra places mastery and wrath-force in the offerer, freeing him from self-wrought sin as from a slain adversary.

meaning
Like Indra the giver flows with his own allotment, so he makes these subjects gift-desiring for him; gift-desiring subjects become his—to Indra the offerer cooks the eleven-kapala cake unmolested as if presented; like Indra the giver flows with his own allotment, so he causes these to give to Indra the well-roped one; the eleven-kapala cake cooked unobstructed or unobstructedly.

meaning
When Indra, constrained, ran after the oblation-line of the sacrifice with his own share, he came to the protection of Prajapati; thus Indra became unconstrained, and Prajapati fashioned him as the eleven-fold Indra by placing the senses in him, and the Shakvarī became the thunderbolt, for the thunderbolt is the Shakvarī, and thus through that thunderbolt he kindled and became.

meaning
He became thus; he was divided—the being thought "I shall not be able to bear this"—so he again pursued Prajapati, and Prajapati, by the power of Shakvarī over the flowing (waters), was fashioned with tranquility for non-burning; the one unattached to prosperity, measured by the same standard—to him Indra was assigned in the eleven-fold vessel, and Indra indeed by his own apportionment runs...

meaning
When the eleven-bowl Agni-Vishnu offering is poured out, Saraswati's oblation-share becomes manifest; when the eleven-bowl Agni-Vishnu becomes established, Agni encompasses all deities, Vishnu is the sacrifice itself, and by this sacrifice he pervades it—thus Saraswati's oblation-share comes to be, for Saraswati is speech and by speech he pervades it; the Brihaspati-porridge comes to be, for...

meaning
The deities circulate around the sacrifice-performer in pairs, two by two, through each liturgical section, and by this very engagement the yajamana is attended by the gods themselves; the sacrifice passes through the gods by sacrifice, and Brahman through speech—Brahman is that deity—and the sacrifice courses through the middle of it, so that no disease or adversary befalls him whom the gods...

meaning
Fire and Vishnu, through their respective ritual portions, flow forth for him; thus the sacrifice grants him this boon—the gods bow to Fire and Vishnu in their Vaishnava ghee-offering; Fire's eye is the eye by which mortals see, and Fire and Vishnu through their ritual portions flow to grant this same eye.

meaning
In this offering, ghee bestows sight upon the sacrificer as cattle-wealth does; ghee is radiance, and radiance is the eye, thus radiance-sight is granted to him; but the rival sacrificer's vital power is severed—the competitor's vigor is stripped away when the initiated one performs the sacrifice according to ritual prescription.

meaning
The vital power is fashioned; the ancient words are proclaimed—as the sky itself, the unspoken speech of the rival is wrested; speaking after her words, the senses and vigor are placed in the sacrificer during the morning pressing, and the eight-caked oblation dedicated to Agni Vaishnava is offered—by this very morning pressing one attains the Brihaspati rite, for the eight-syllabled Gayatri...

meaning
In the Agnaivaishṇava rite with eleven-part oblation at midday savana's time, Sarasvatī receives the share while Bṛhaspati's porridge has eleven syllables matching the triṣṭup meter, and through the midday savana itself one gains the deities, and likewise in the third savana with twelve-part oblation, Sarasvatī receives the share while Bṛhaspati's porridge with twelve syllables matches the jagatī...

meaning
He reciprocates the sacrifice with sacrifice, speech with the Brahman of speech, the Brahman with skulls alone—thus the Chandoga obtains the purodasha oblations and savana rites of Mitra-Varuna in a single skull; at the time of desire, the rival's subjugation-bond becomes thus for him the single skull of this [rite], nor indeed can skulls accomplish beast-slaughter.

meaning
That Aditya did not shine forth; the gods desired expiation for him; therefore they offered the Soma and Rudra oblation (charu), and by this means gave him lustre—whoever desires brahma-lustre should offer the Soma and Rudra oblation in the month of Tishya when the moon is full, for Soma and Rudra each receive their own portion and thus bestow brahma-lustre.

meaning
The full-moon Soma sacrifice indeed directly upholds brahmavarcha (spiritual radiance), and through the white cow with white calf, the milk is churned into ghee, which anoints and purifies so that all brahmavarcha is accomplished—thus the Lord becomes free from misfortune, as the Manu-hymn declares; whatever Manu uttered becomes the very medicine for this purpose.

meaning
Medicine alone is made for him, yet if he fears bad skin will come to be, so the Soma-Apaushnа offering is poured out—by the godhead of the mild man and Paushnа cattle he makes skin for him with animals by that godhead, and bad skin does not occur; so the Soma-Aundra offering is poured out—by the desire for progeny, Soma indeed is the receptacle of seed and Agni the begetter of creatures, thus...

meaning
The person possessed of soma and rudra natures performs the oblation ritual; the soma aspect belongs to the divine realm while this rudra aspect is the fire—thus the offering is made to rudra with the body as the oblation, and the soma essence flows into the fire-body, the gods' taste being ransomed through agni's form.

meaning
In these (oblations) the Soma and Rudra rites come alive as if living; the Hotṛ priest sets forth this fire-offering, and Rudra discovers the healing medicine when half the strewn grass-bed measures twelve (in breadth).

meaning
The Indra-oblation of eleven cups is poured out; the Marut-oblation of seven cups for the village-desire—Indra and the Maruts proceed by their own share-portion, and they furnish him with offspring; as in a village it becomes the Indra-offering, he takes refuge in the house-fire; the Marut-portion for the nourishment of food becomes a seven-cupped Marut-offering, the seven Marut-groups indeed...

Following that same ritual path, he fashioned offerings; desiring the kingdom and people, he apportioned equal shares with steadied mind—thus one speaks of Indra's portion, and hearing this, one should recite it to Indra; one sacrifices to the Maruts—thus the Maruts' portion is spoken, and hearing this, one should recite it; one sacrifices to Indra—thus his own portion is assigned equally, and...

One should pour out an eleven-cakéd oblation to Indra according to his share, a twelve-caked one to all the gods, and these generated offspring present themselves to him as in a village, through Indra's and the All-gods' appointed portions.

The Maruts, born from the milk-stream of Prisni, are fashioned by divine nature; each rushes to their own allotted portion, and thus they present themselves to him—becoming gracious in the village-dwelling, cherished in the Yajya-verse.

He made what was dear to him equal-faced; the two-footed [verses] become the forward-recitation, he restrains the two-footed thus; the four-footed [verses] as sacrifice restrains the four-footed beasts—gods and asuras met together, the gods sat apart from one another in mutual discord; then standing by seniority, divided fourfold: Agni with the Vasus, Soma with the Rudras, Indra with the Maruts,...

meaning
With this understanding, one should offer the eight-caked rice-cake to Agni the wealth-possessor, the cooked oblation to Soma the ruddy-natured and to Indra of the Maruts, the eleven-caked rice-cake to Varuna the Aditya-natured; then regarding Indra and the deities as equal through equality, the mutual non-alienation becomes established, and with this same understanding one should sacrifice the...

The golden-wombed waters—he is the knower, son of the fathers, mother of the mothers, and through his sons he became earth and again the mighty one; he stretched the sky, the atmosphere, and all creatures became, he came to be; he, grown ancient yet ever-young, O Agni, yoked by glory, stretched forth with radiance, holding the eternal laws of the seer in his hand, the manifold worlds.

meaning
This verse from the Yajurveda Taittiriya Samhita is heavily corrupted in transmission and the IAST transliteration contains numerous editorial anomalies (accents, hyphens, incomplete words); the core sense appears to concern Soma's cosmic pervasion and Indra's protection, but reconstruction of a reliable literal meaning is not possible from the text as presented.

Well-nourished Soma, orderly-minded, for Indra the wise—Brahma; Jamadagni they praise, and you, O Bull, are the charioteer of strength; hold the space between earth and sky for the singer, O supporter of the regions; let Indra bear that fourth realm—so with force and might, O Brahma, O man born of Brahma, do men worship; the Sun that speeds, with Soma as witness, there does Indra hold the...

May your well-praised words strengthen you; may you protect us always with blessings—I sing of Vishnu's might that destroys the dust of the sky, knowing him as the wide-striding one; do not hide from us that form in which you became manifest in another shape.

Agni, grant to the giver wealth abundant with heroes; nourish our progeny—give us, Agni, hundreds and thousands of treasures, durga like sustenance through hearing; make the eastern sky and earth luminous by Brahman, golden and bright as dawn's rays shine forth. Agni bestows wealth with heroic splendor, Agni enriches the sage with thousands; Agni extends oblations in heaven—Agni's abodes are...

Bring us no harm, O lord; bring pure golden treasure gleaming as gold itself—that gold shines like copper. Both streams of clarified butter flow in the wooden ladle upon the altar; and do you, O mighty one, bring forth full libations in the hymns for the singers—O Vayu, master of a hundred swift horses, nourish them; let those thousand-horsed chariots come forth with vigour.

I cannot provide a reliable literal translation of this verse. The IAST transliteration contains substantial orthographic inconsistencies and ligature/sandhi notations that obscure the base word forms, making it impossible to recover coherent Sanskrit semantics with confidence.
