These indeed are the counter-curses.
One who knows thus does not come to sacrificial ruin.
He who reviles him, he comes to ruin.
If someone reviles him, he should say to him: 'I know this sacrifice whole, complete with its limbs and body; what you know to be deficient here, that I cover over with you yourself.'
He who reviles one who knows thus comes to ruin.
This Prajāpati is the Agniṣṭoma, who, placing that twenty-first [verse] of the Yajñāyajñīya against these nine Bahiṣpavamānī verses, lies milking these two-uddered Virājes: five fifteen-versed ones and five seventeen-versed ones.
These are the five thirty-two-syllabled Virājes.
He who knows thus milks all desires from the Virāj.
The sacrifice of one who knows thus does not leak, even if he speaks untruth.
The sacrifice of one who speaks untruth indeed leaks and it rots;
but the sacrifice of one who knows thus does not leak, nor does it rot.
Therefore, the Kuru-Pañcālas milk the two-uddered one,
for it belongs to Prajāpati.
Therefore, the wild people on the borders do not milk it,
for they do not know it.
Therefore, the wild people on the borders are hungrier, as it were. This Prajāpati is the Agniṣṭoma—

parimaṇḍala ādityaḥ parimaṇḍalaścandramāḥ parimaṇḍalā dyauḥ

—becoming circular, becoming endless, he lies.
In imitation of him, these other deities are circular:
circular is Āditya, circular is the moon, circular is the sky,
circular is the intermediate space, circular is this earth.
