6. After the completion (of the sacrifice) he divests himself (of the vow), with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita II, 28 b): “Now I am he who I really am.” For, in entering upon the vow, he becomes, as it were, nonhuman; and as it would not be becoming for him to say, “I enter from truth into untruth;” and as, in fact, he now again becomes man, let him therefore divest himself (of the vow), with the text: “Now I am he who I really am.”
