8. The sprinkling-water which is left he pours outside the altar close to where is the southern of those two front corners (of the high altar) with, “This burning water I dismiss from the sacrifice.” Because she (Vac—the altar) on that occasion became a lioness and roamed about unappeased, he thus dismisses from the sacrifice that sorrow of hers,—if he do not wish to exorcise. But should he wish to exorcise, let him indicate it by saying, “This burning water I dismiss from the sacrifice against so and so!” He then smites him with that sorrow, and sorrowing he goes to yonder world.
