Preview of English translation:

17. Being about to beat (the Soma with the pressing-stone), let him think in his mind of him he hates: “Herewith I strike N.N., not thee!” Now whosoever kills a human Brahman here, he, forsooth, is deemed guilty,—how much more so he who strikes him (Soma), for Soma is a god. But they do kill him when they press him;—they kill him with that (stone): thus he rises from thence, thus he lives; and thus no guilt is incurred.. But if he hate no one, he may even think of a straw, and thus no guilt is incurred.
