Before that, however, they had been handsome by their magical art. One of the two, diving into the fire, said: "Thus, indeed, does he fare who seeks to strike truth with untruth!" Then they cut down cows in this way. One of the two, approaching, cutting his own throat, said: "Thus, indeed, does he fare who seeks to strike truth with untruth!" Right there they two died. These are those foe-slaying, demon-slaying verses. He who praises with these verses strikes down his hateful foe, strikes away the demon, evil. Regarding this, they say: "Since they transpose the Vālakhilyas, how do they chant praise with them when transposed?" He should say: "Because these syllables are transposed and the words interwoven; by that."
