23. Thereupon both (the sacrificer and his wife) having descended, bathe, and wash each other’s back. Having wrapped themselves in fresh garments they step out: even as a snake casts its skin, so does he cast away all his sin,—there is not in him even as much sin as there is in a toothless child. By the same way by which they came out (from the sacrificial ground), they return thither; and, having returned, he puts a kindling-stick on the Ahavaniya (at the front hall-door) with, “Thou art the kindler of the gods!” He thereby kindles the sacrificer himself, for along with the kindling of the gods the sacrificer is kindled.
