Aṣāḍha Sāvayasa sacrificed with an Atirātra. Atidhanvan Śaunaka was present there. He made the Udveśīya the Acchāvāka's sāman at the Atirātra. He said to him: "Do not do so! The musical tone, falling away from the iḷās, unsupported beyond, is a form of wandering." He said: "Reaching that whole iḷā, connecting [it] with the musical tone itself, we will journey across the night." "Not so!" said the other. "Indra indeed approached the Asuras with that sāman. Knowing the musical tone to be his strength, they rushed against him. They took him ahead. When he was taken ahead, he struck down in this half-iḷā. This half-iḷā is indeed for protection."
