10. “Homage be unto thee full well, O sharp-edged Nirriti!” for Nirriti is indeed sharp-edged: to her he thereby renders homage;—“loose thou this iron bond!” for it is indeed with an iron bond that Nirriti binds him whom she binds;—“being of one mind with Yama and Yami,”—Yama doubtless is Agni, and Yam is this (earth), and by these two everything here is kept in check: thus, “being of one mind with those two,”—“raise him unto the highest firmament!” the firmament is the heavenly world: thus, “raise the Sacrificer up to the heavenly world!”
