sā haiṣā khalā devatāpasedhantī tiṣṭhati
idaṃ vai tvam atra pāpam akar ṇehaiṣyasi yo vai puṇyakṛt syāt sa iheyād iti /
That harsh deity stands warding off [the departing soul]:
'You did this evil deed here; you shall not come here. Only one who is a doer of good deeds may come here.'
1.5.2
sa brūyād apaśyo vai tvaṃ tad yad ahaṃ tad akaravaṃ tad vai mā tvaṃ nākārayiṣyas tvaṃ vai tasya kartāsīti /
He should say: 'You indeed saw what I did; you would not have made me do it [otherwise]; you indeed are the doer of it.'
1.5.3
sā ha veda satyam māheti
satyaṃ haiṣā devatā
sā ha tasya neśe yad enam apasedhet satyam upaiva hvayate /
That [deity] knows: 'He speaks the truth to me.'
For that deity is truth.
She has no power to ward him off; she even invites the truth.

Then said Aikṣvāka or Vārṣṇa the reciter, or Sātyakīrta: 'And this harsh deity is resolved to ward off from this quarter.'

tad ime dyāvāpṛthivī saṃśliṣyataḥ
yāvatī vai vedis tāvatīyam pṛthivī
tad yatraitac cātvālaṃ khātaṃ tat samprati sa diva ākāśaḥ /
[That] is the end of heaven.
There these two, heaven and earth, meet.
As large as the sacrificial altar ground is, so large is this earth.
Now where this cātvāla pit is dug, that directly corresponds to the open space of heaven.

When the bahiṣpavamāna is being praised, one should take hold of that with the mind.

prathame 'nuvāke pañcamaḥ khaṇḍaḥ //

Fifth khaṇḍa in the first anuvāka.
