8. And as to why he prepares a cake on twelve potsherds for Agni Vaishvanara,—when Indra had slain Vritra, he burnt him completely by means of Agni Vaishvanara, and thereby burnt all his (Vritra's) sin; and in like manner does that (Sacrificer) now, after slaying sin, Vritra, with the help of Indra Vritrahan, burn him, and all that sin of his, by means of Agni Vaishvanara; and, verily, not the slightest sin remains in him who, knowing this, performs this offering.
