And regarding that, the Vājasaneya said: 'The cow departs from those who lack faith; they pierce the oblation with distress. One should do it in this way only: having taken a stick, having prodded her with it, he should make her stand up. Just as when a mule goes lame while being driven, or an yoked ox sits down, driven by the stick, driven by the goad, it attains the path it desires, in this very way, driven by the stick, driven by the goad, he attains the heavenly world he desires. He should keep her for himself. He places fortune in himself.'
1.59.p1

On this point they say: If, while this performer of a long sacrificial session is offering the fire-offering, the calf of the fire-offering cow should be lost, what is the procedure there?
1.59.p2
kā prāyaścittiriti
