10. Now as to that additional (cake),—he buries it in a mole-hill, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita III, 57 b), “This is thy share, O Rudra! the mole is thy animal (victim).” He thus assigns to him the mole as the only animal, and he (Rudra) does not therefore injure any other animal. Then as to why he buries (the cake): concealed, indeed, are embryos, and concealed also is what is buried,—that is why he buries it. By this (offering) he delivers from the power of Rudra those descendants of his, that are not yet born.
