11. He bathes, with the text (Vajasaneyi Samhita IV, 2; Rig-veda X, 17, 10), “May the waters, the mothers, cleanse us!” whereby he says, “May they cleanse!” 'May the purifiers of ghee purify us with (heavenly) ghee!' For he, indeed, is thoroughly purified whom they have purified with ghee: accordingly he says, “May the purifiers of ghee purify us with ghee!”—“For they, the divine, take away all taint;” now 'all' means 'every,' and 'taint' means what is impure; for they do take away from him every impurity: therefore he says, “For they, the divine, take away all taint.”
