14. [Vajasaneyi Samhita X, 22], “Lest, O Indra, overpowerer of the mighty, we be wanting thee, heedless through ungodliness,—mount thou, O divine wielder of the thunderbolt, the chariot which thou restrainest (as well as its) well-horsed reins.” With this (verse) he stops (the chariot);—reins (rashmi) means bridle (abhishu): therefore he says, “Thou restrainest the well-horsed reins???.” Thereupon he offers the (four oblations) relating to the unyoking of the chariot. “Well-pleased the chariot shall be when unyoked,” he thinks, and therefore he offers the (oblations) relating to the unyoking of the chariot.
