The third article is the boldest: yad dhasati yaj jakṣati yan maithunaṁ carati — "that he laughs, feasts, goes in to his wife" — stuta-śastrair eva tad eti — "by that he goes through the stotras and śastras" — the rite's chants of praise and its recitations!
Laughter is the liturgical singing of life! Merriment, the table, the love of husband and wife are the hymnographic portions of the human sacrifice (the vāmadevya sāman of 2.13 already wove a melody into wedlock!): sounding joy is a stotra uttered by the body. The Upaniṣad hallows what a gloomy piety is accustomed to subtract from holiness: in the sacrifice that is a life, men laugh as they sing at a service: he who never laughs has the lauds missing from his liturgy.
