Passage 5

तमशनापिपासे अब्रूतामावाभ्यामभिप्रजानीहीति ।ते अब्रवीदेतास्वेव वां देवतास्वाभजाम्येतासु भागिन्यौ करोमीति ।तस्माद्यस्यै कस्यै च देवतायै हविर्गृह्यते भागिन्यावेवास्यामशनापिपासे भवतः ॥ ५ ॥

In plain words

Hunger and thirst said to him: 'Assign a place to us two as well.' He said to them: 'I give you a share among these very deities; I make you partakers in them.' Therefore, whenever an oblation is offered to any deity whatsoever, hunger and thirst always share in it.
