32. He first removes that of the man—for him he puts down first—with (Vajasaneyi Samhita XIII, 47), “Harm not this two-footed animal!” the two-footed animal doubtless is the same as man: thus, “do not harm that one!”—“(thou) the thousand-eyed, being built for pith;”—the thousand-eyed he (Agni) is on account of the chips of gold; 'for pith,' that is, “for food.”—“Graciously accept thou, O Agni, the sham-man, the victim, as pith!” a sham-man is a kim-purusha (mock-man): thus, “accept graciously the kim-purusha, O Agni!”—“Building up therewith thy forms, get thee settled!” the form is the self: thus, “Building up therewith, perfect thyself!”—“Let thy burning heat reach the sham-man! let thy burning heat reach him whom we hate!” he thereby lays burning heat into the sham-man, and into him whom he hates.
