17. He then throws (the wooden sword) a second time, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita I, 26): “May I drive Araru away from the earth, the place of offerings!” Araru, namely, was an Asura and Rakshas. Him the gods drove away from this (earth), and in the same way he (the Adhvaryu) thereby drives him away from this (earth). He adds (whilst repeating the several corresponding acts): “Go to the fold, the abode of the cows! May the sky rain on thee! Tie him down, O divine Savitri, to the furthest end of the earth, with a hundred fetters, him who hates us and whom we hate, do not release him from there!”
